AbstractTo support meaningful and productive engagement in cancer research, we provide practical guidance for preparing for and conducting focus groups and interviews with community members. We provide 11 recommendations in two printable resources: (a) a checklist for preparing for focus groups and interviews with community members, and (b) a list of practical strategies to use when conducting the focus groups and interviews. These recommendations are based on our experience facilitating 15 focus groups and 20 interviews with 52 community members to codesign the study materials for a population-wide qualitative survey for understanding the needs and experiences of adults affected by cancer in Queensland, Australia. The checklist includes six recommendations: (1) define and document recruitment procedures, (2) use diverse recruitment methods to recruit a diverse sample, (3) implement multiple strategies to prevent and detect fraudulent participant sign-ups, (4) offer flexible options for research participation, (5) develop and pilot visual session materials, and (6) nominate lead and support facilitators (focus groups only). Practical strategies include five recommendations with examples for how to implement these in practice: (1) allow time to get started, (2) invite focused participation, (3) keep track of time, (4) facilitate productive and insightful conversations, and (5) debrief after sessions for continuous quality improvement. These resources can be used by students, researchers, and health care professionals conducting focus groups and interviews with community members to optimize the consumer's experience of participation in cancer research. The recommendations presented may also be applicable in health research more broadly.
