Abstract:
Move to End Violence recently finished a research project with Lake Research Partners that included focus groups and an online survey to better understand what we as a movement can do to inspire stronger support that translates into action. They designed this round to reflect broad diversity, including a look at voters, nonvoters, people who are highly interested in civic and political issues (i.e., the “attentive public” in research lingo), and the African American, Asian and Pacific Islander, Latino/a, Native American, and White communities. [CVRL Note: this blog post includes tips on effective interview and focus group methods, with limited time and money, to empower service providers to conduct research at their organizations; see also related products from this research, which include the full text action guide, fact sheets, a webinar, and a conference presentation.] (Author Text)
