Focus groups are a qualitative method of data collection, which uses interaction among a group of research participants to generate information around topics determined by the researcher. While much has been written on how to design and conduct focus groups, few publications have explicitly addressed issues relevant to gerontological research. This entry thus discuss focus groups as a general methodological choice, while highlighting critical issues in the use of focus groups with older adults.
