Christopher, Suzanne

Journal of Staff, Program & Organization Development, v17 n1 p7-16 Spr 2000

Steps in planning and conducting focus groups are detailed and applied to the evaluation of a freshman-level general health course. Finds that participants wanted to retain the health content but add more of a teaching emphasis to the course. (Contains 17 references.) (VWC)
