Focus Group Discussion Questions

1

Do you think there is a problem with adolescent substance use in your community/IN communities in general?

We would like to hear a little more about why you came here today. What were you hoping to get out of coming today?

2

Which substances do adolescents in your community/other IN communities use?

Could you tell us about the adolescent substance use issues you see in your community?

3

Do you think your community would benefit from educating parents and/or providing them resources about adolescent substance use?

Is there something you would take from today’s workshop that you can use?

4

If yes, how much do you think your community would benefit from knowledge regarding: rates of use, how to spot and monitor use, communicating with teens about substance use, substances that are specifically an issue, etc.

What tips do you have to improve this program?

5

Are there other programs already in place? Do they meet the community’s needs?

Any other feedback?
