Answer to Question 1

C
Focus groups are small groups of individuals that are selected due to a common characteristic. They are invited to meet as a group and respond to questions on a particular topic about which they are expected to have interest or expertise. Stakeholders are any person, group, or organization that has a vested interest in the program or project under review. Stakeholder assessments consist of a would-be group of people with similar experiences who come together to discuss their experiences at an institution in the hope that the conversation will lead to insights or information that might not have been previously considered, but may be useful for improving care or marketing services in the future. Managerial epidemiology in health care is the ability to effectively manage the health of a population with the broadest set of resources available.
