Online Bulletin Board Focus Groups: Sample Transcript • What needs should a Breast Health Navigator meet? • 3.4.10 Let you know what to expect, from diagnosis to surgery and after treatments. I just came from my radiation treatment and had some concerns. All the nurse said was that the side effects are happening early to me. I should be having these later on in the treatment. I did not even know what to expect. • 3.4.14 First focus their attention on the newly diagnosed patient who is scared and confused. The BHN should be able to give information on choices that the patient has. They should try and keep communication with them throughout the whole treatment series because there are so many questions that come up.
Online Bulletin Board Focus Groups: Sample Transcript (cont.) • 3.4.15 I think that upon diagnosis of breast cancer, that's when the real need presents itself. It may range from everything to assistance with health insurance issues...Q & A's to personal needs like support groups, financial guidance, resources available, meals or rides if there isn't a family or friend support system in place. The list is endless and varies with the individual needs of the patient. • 3.4.9 What I needed when I was first diagnosed was someone that could explain what was ahead for me. At first I didn't know what to ask. Then I would go home and wonder and not have anyone to ask. I think it would be great if you could e-mail them questions so you could get an answer in a timely manner.
Online Bulletin Board Focus Groups: When to Use • Geographic dispersion • Difficult recruits • Low incidence recruits • Lack of homogeneity • Two-way multimedia • Save travel costs • Can observe from work or home
Online Bulletin Board Focus Groups: When Not to Use • Very exploratory • Very sensitive topic • Need for non-verbal responses • Group dynamic/intimacy
