Focus Group Interview Research in Transcultural Psychiatry: Reflections on Research Experiences

Solvig Ekblad

Sofie Bffrnhielm

Karolinska Institutet

We discuss the use of focus group interviews as a research method in transcultural psychiatry. Focus groups are a new method in health research that can provide a contextual basis for making culturally sensitive interpretations. We illustrate advantages as well as disadvantages of this method with examples from our own research with immigrants and refugees in Sweden.

Key Words: cultural psychiatry • focus group interviews • qualitative research methodology • transcultural research
