Focus Group

You have been invited to participate in a Focus Group for a student research initiative regarding Nantucketers, Environmental Issues and how different forms of media affect attitudes and opinions.

The Focus Groups will be short (30-40min)

There will be an initial survey asking for basic demographic information (i.e. Age, Education Level, etc.)

You will then be shown 10-12 media (images, infographics, digital clips) regarding Environmental Issues

After each form of media you will be asked to answer 5 Yes / No questions 

(Ex: Do you think the media you’ve seen informed your understanding of Environmental Issues with a new perspective? Yes  /  No)

The Focus Groups will take place at the NRTA’s Greenhound Building
