We were interested less in the number of participants recruited and more in achieving high quality insights of experienced doctors, committed to Indigenous health, who could deepen our understanding of the issue.
For example, city leaders will need high-quality insights to manage a carbon neutrality programme, a social and health services programme, or an innovative public transportation programme.
Some of the drawbacks to conducting a focus group are the amount of time required in conducting it and the small number of participants that can be involved at a time; however, the advantages include high-quality insights revealed through the interaction of the group and enhanced memories and experiences shared by participants as a result of the group dynamic (Lindlof and Taylor 2002).
Of course, obsessively pursuing a high also requires focus and effort but it doesn't tend to mark you as a person who, as Earp puts it, values "not just efficiency, but engagement a real grappling with the nuance of a situation, which can provide different kinds of, and perhaps higher-quality, insights, than those that can typically be gotten 'on the cheap.'".
However the study's intention was to focus on the high-quality insights of doctors experienced working in this field rather than a pre-specified, greater number of participants.
"We know there's a strong unmet demand for high quality usage insights and we think we're in a great position to meet that demand in a safe, privacy-protective way.
A higher quality genome coverage and assembly will be required to gain insight into the details of these genetic events.
This is an impressive study: rigorous, high quality data, novel insights, beautifully presented and of broad interest.
Big push for higher quality!
