Ringkasan	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.	An online focus group is a moderated group discussion conducted via internet-based platforms — video conferencing, text chat, or asynchronous forums — to explore shared perceptions, attitudes, and experiences on a defined topic. It inherits the group-interaction dynamics of the traditional focus group while removing geographic barriers and enabling data collection from dispersed or hard-to-reach populations.
