Focus Group Discussions
We ran a series of small focus groups over the summer of 2023 to gather information to help us design an intervention to improve mental health and wellbeing in people living with HIV.
We talked in depth to different groups of people living with HIV, as well as clinic staff and health care providers from across the country, to better understand the needs of people living with HIV.
Many people living with HIV face issues with their mental and physical health and need extra support to live well. The best ways to provide that support are not always clear and it is important to understand what people living with HIV want from services.
We held a series of focus group discussions to help us understand more about what support people living with HIV might need to improve their health and well-being. The focus group discussions were led by two experienced researchers and lasted between 1.5-2 hours. Privacy was protected at all times.
Focus groups ran over May, June and July 2023.
