Abstract
The use of focus groups for social work research has increased dramatically in recent years. The strengths of group process can be used in an innovative way—as a technique to improve rigor in qualitative data analysis. This article details the research process and the innovative data analysis approaches employed in a recent study conducted by the Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW). The use of interaction and group collaboration by researchers resulted in a stronger, more defensible product, emerging from a rigorous process of a multiperspective examination of decisions concerning the data, thus increasing researchers’ confidence in the final report on the project.
