Findings from Focus Groups: Qualitative Data

The qualitative data from the focus groups fell into four main themes:

Who did people trust? Why did they trust them? How did trust affect their decisions?

How did people make decisions? What was important to them in making decisions?

How do current events and the context of an event affect communication and community response?
