My second update is simply “MTS” (more of the same): I have added another 12 entries to my annotated bibliography. Given formatting and other issues people have had in posting their previous update(s), I’m attempting to insert the actual file if you care to look it over. The attachment is the full bib – The new entries are in bold.
In any case – as with last time – I’ll just recap and give the reader’s digest. As mentioned, I did find a number of additional journal articles on my chosen topic, focus groups. The highlights: I found one article that compares on-line and off-line focus groups in terms of depth and breadth of content as well as efficiency. I also found an article discussing the use of focus groups in a post-intervention situation to get a consensus of participants as to whether they feel the results of the intervention are sustainable. Finally, I found a couple of pieces discussing the analysis of the data collected from focus groups which, according to the authors at least :>), had been a fairly little-treated issue (I can certain confirm that the majority of articles I’ve pulled have had to do more with planning and running focus groups rather than on “what goes next”). These should all be interesting additions to my literature collection on this topic, and will hopefully enrich my final project: a lit. review on focus groups.
