DETERMINING FOCUS AREAS & DETERMINING FOCUS AREAS & IMPLEMENTATIONIMPLEMENTATION
Focus group approach is an interviewing process that highlights consensus issues in the community
After finding key focus areas among small informal groups, the process advances to the larger public for buy-in and participation
Once focus areas are validated by public support, CVC stakeholders break into small work groups to concentrate on individual community focus areas (i.e marketing, recruitment, education, etc.)
