-Mental preparation. As the focus group is an activity that requires intense


concentration for a one to two hour period, it is important that the moderator is
mentally alert and free from anxieties or worries. For the period of the study that
includes focus groups, being well rested will assist in your ability to concentrate.
Another factor influencing the success of the focus group is your ability to conduct a
smooth and natural conversation, and it will be necessary for you to memorise the
questions that will be asked. You will always have a copy of them in front of you but
they should only be glanced at to remind you what the next question should be or
what small prompting questions to use to encourage conversation.

Focus group discussion checklist


Any activity that requires many activities, equipment and field visits needs to be well
planned. Although the majority of plans have been made, it will always be necessary
to make sure that you are leaving for the field with everything necessary to conduct
the focus group as successfully as possible. You should prepare a checklist to go
through before you leave for the field for every focus group. Any member of the
team can be responsible to check that everything is prepared and available. In your
list include all the paper work, necessary equipment and lists of participants.
