Using Focus Groups With Lower Socioeconomic Status Latina Women

Esther I. Madriz

University of San Francisco

This article discusses the use of focus groups when interviewing lower socioeconomic status Latina women in some areas of New York City and northern New Jersey. Drawing from the author's research experience, the article discusses the use of focus groups within the framework of feminist methodology, the author's experience with the use of focus groups in studying the fear of crime, and some of the issues faced by the author related to narrowing the gap between the researcher and the participants and creating together ness among the interviewees.
