Answer to Question 1

Failure to thrive is inadequate weight gain of infants and is diagnosed when an infant's weight-for-length falls below the 5th percentile.

Answer to Question 2

Yes; focus groups are informal groups of about 5 to 12 people who are asked to share their concerns, experiences, beliefs, opinions, or problems and can be used to obtain advice, insights, and opinions regarding services and products.
