Telephone-assisted Focus Group
A telephone-assisted focus group is a qualitative data collection technique in which a moderator facilitates a structured group discussion among multiple participants connected simultaneously via a telephone conference bridge or audio platform. It preserves the core interactive dynamics of traditional focus groups — group synergy, probing, and spontaneous reactions — while eliminating the need for geographic co-location, making it suitable for hard-to-reach, geographically dispersed, or mobility-constrained populations.
