Advanced Focus Group Research examines the focus group research process in depth. It uncovers and addresses many of the complexities researchers encounter in conducting focus group research and introduces a conceptual framework that helps researchers make informed decisions about how to plan a focus group research project.

In addition, it critically examines the limits of focus groups and suggests how to use focus groups for nontraditional research tasks.
