Answer to Question 1

A
The focus group interview can be part of exploratory research, but cannot serve as conclusive research. Participants usually find comfort in the group and become more willing to express their ideas and feelings. Group interviews allow closer scrutiny of the data collection process, because several observers can witness the session, and it can be recorded for later playback and analysis.

Answer to Question 2

F
All probes should be included on the interview form.
