Participants were recruited from a pool of adolescents belonging to two youth organizations in Northern and Central Florida and a registry of potential research participants.
For the first set of focus groups, 46 parents were approached in person at youth organization sites, over the phone, or via videoconferencing. Parents of 39 adolescents approved of their children's participation and provided parental permission, and 30 adolescents participated in the study (15 participants through the University of Florida). The study was conducted with a series of 3 focus group discussions and 1 paired interview, with another set of 15 participants.
For the second set of focus groups, 37 parents of eligible adolescents were first identified and then approached over the phone or via video conferencing. Of 28 interested parents, 27 had adolescents who were also interested and participated in the study. Two participants were randomly selected to participate in a paired in-depth interview, and 25 adolescents participated in six focus group discussions with 4 to 7 participants per group.
