RE: DB 8.2

COLLAPSE

Tanya, this was a good prevention program for college students. This writer likes the idea of using the Focus Groups to find out the reasons students are using substances and ways to prevent the increase of substance use. On the surface, we know that peer influences and obstacles are some of the reasons why they engage in these activities. However, a focus group would give facts and details needed to design the program that will address their needs.

Focus groups are used to get information about a new product, idea, or service that is going to be offered or developed. Focus groups for college students would be good because they would be able to be in a setting where they could interact with other college students. This will allow them to feel less intimidated and will give honest answers because they will have the support of other students in the same situation that they are in (Lotich, 2011).

please use citations and also make sure you use references at the end and make sure the references coincide with the citations
