Focus groups for Hispanic women who are pregnant and their close family members to assess attitudes, barriers and cultural beliefs involved in participation in clinical trials
This is a qualitative study conducted with Hispanic pregnant women and their families. Focus groups for Hispanic pregnant women will run concurrent to groups for their close family member, but in separate rooms. Each focus group session of approximately 8-10 participants is expected to last 60-90 minutes and will be led by an experienced moderator who is fluent in Spanish. All discussions will be audio taped and will be kept confidential. Information learned will be used to refine clinical trial procedures and ensure our model of recruitment and retention in the parent ADORE Trial (NCT02626299) is culturally and linguistically acceptable and feasible.
