 1. Focus Group Studies are increasingly published in health journals, but there is little information on how researchers determine the number of focus groups to conduct and follow principles of data saturation. 2. The study found that the number of focus groups conducted varied greatly, with insufficient reporting of sample sizes being common. 37, 17% studies attempted to explain the number of groups, but many did not follow grounded theory principles or offered no explanation for high numbers of focus groups. 3. The authors suggest that journals adopt more stringent requirements for focus group method reporting and that more empirical research is needed to develop focus group methodology.
