Issues involved in adapting the focus group process for low-income adults and children of Hispanic and Caucasian ethnicity include kinds of incentives, selection of location, participant recruitment and eligibility, question development, and number of groups to conduct. Children's attention span, cultural and linguistic differences, and child care should also be considered. (SK)
