the interview is conducted is critical to obtain content that is accurate and unbiased. Careful observation is

Interviewers at Health Outcomes Group are experienced in talking with patients with sensitivity and empathy. We can conduct interviews and focus groups with patients, and individuals suffering from health problems, but not being treated, in more that 80 languages.
Exploratory Discussion Groups

We are experienced in conducting traditional focus groups with 6-12 people in which the group dynamics for certain problems can provide insights where one-on-one interviews may have limitations due to social stigmas and cultural pressures. We are also able to conduct Exploratory Discussion Groups with physicians, policy makers and influential individuals about their reactions and receptiveness to new, innovative proposals. These methods are especially useful in testing new concepts.
