Group Discussion Topics for Interview PDF 154: Tips and Tricks to Ace Your GD

We report here the largest study of ART adherence among PLHIV in South East Asia. The participants were a diverse group from five clinics located in both rural and urban areas. The level of suboptimal adherence to ART appears to be higher than estimated in previous Asian studies. This may be due to the interview mode of the current study (ACASI) which enhances privacy and confidentiality and may improve the validity of self-reported information. Suboptimal adherence was strongly influenced by depression, ongoing substance use, medication side effects, and poor social connectedness. The study findings can be used to optimize ARV treatment adherence in Viet Nam.

The second step involves planning activities to achieve the desired outcomes. Again, this process typically involves a combination of divergent and convergent discussions. Because the possible actions are guided by an underlying vision and goals, it promotes flexibility by helping team members envision a number of actions that could be possible (Garmston & Wellman, 2016). The planning process also tends to involve data collection and analysis that can inform the activities that will be undertaken. Finally, the planning must also include conversation with department leadership and relevant departmental committees to ensure that whatever activities the group engages in are likely to be supported and taken up by the department.

All DATs begin with an ideal future visioning activity. Sticky notes are used to support individual reflection and expression. These sticky notes are then collectively organized to determine values shared by the group members (see Figure 2). Member responses highlight priorities, interests, and commitments. Through discussion, the DAT determines common themes and articulates a shared vision. The articulated vision sometimes takes the form of a vision statement, but other times it is just a subset of values (single words or phrases, often).

The DAT began with a pre-visioning activity. Participants were given five minutes to individually write down their personal and professional aspirations and what they hoped others would get out of the DAT. This was followed with a popcorn-style discussion, during which individuals each shared their brainstorming. This divergent conversation elicited a variety of ideas before narrowing the focus. Participants described their aspirations around topics such as improved teaching, a more innovative curriculum, and changing departmental structures.

Third, we found the use of visuals, sticky notes, and other artifacts to be important mediators for productive visioning conversations. By introducing activities that disrupt the typical flow of whole-group conversations, we were able to help participants think in new ways rather than defaulting to the problem-solving mode that is prevalent in traditional departmental committees. In addition, opportunities for individual think time (e.g., writing on sticky notes) and distributed group discussion (e.g., moving sticky notes around, creating themes of sticky notes) helped flatten out hierarchies and created more space for all members to contribute meaningfully. Lastly, these activities produced visuals that facilitators frequently turned DAT attention to in subsequent meetings, which proved to be powerful reminders. Although these visuals were generated in person, they can also be implemented virtually by using online collaborative workspaces.

Based on information from KI interview, questionnaires were designed to collect data on the role of gardens in socio-economic and agro-ecosystem maintenance and associated implication when climate variability/change occurs was collected. Focused group discussions were also used to validate the information given by an individual farmer and to catch important issues that were not raised by respondent farmers.

Data collected from the interview and questionnaire was coded, enters in to a computer, analyzed, interpreted and synthesized using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software Version 16. Socio-economic and agro-ecosystem role between garden types was subjected to one-way ANOVA. Mean differences between groups were considered significant at p

HGAF plays an important role and unique land management system because of the potential role in addressing biophysical, economical and socio-ecological components. Such diversity and interaction leads to greater functional and structural complexity as compared to non-tree based garden. Surveyed households admire homegarden importance especially during climate related shock happen. Farmers grouped climate related hazards in to three major topics: climate variability (100), drought (87), rain with ice (92) which hampers production of cereal crops. The value in the bracket shows respondents percentage.

Economic difference was great among the two garden types with almost proportional social group (religion, age group, work habit, land size, homegarden size), infrastructure and extension service. The focused group discussions employed also indicated that production of cereals in NTBG is limited to only rainy season (Table 1).

She was named after her grandmother, who had in her turn inherited fromanother ancestress the name of the Homeric matron whose peculiar meritswon her a place even among the Puritan Faiths, Hopes, Temperances, andPrudences. Penelope was the girl whose odd serious face had struckBartley Hubbard in the photograph of the family group Lapham showed himon the day of the interview. Her large eyes, like her hair, werebrown; they had the peculiar look of near-sighted eyes which is calledmooning; her complexion was of a dark pallor.

The only social attention which Lapham succeeded in offering Corey wasto take him in his buggy, now and then, for a spin out over theMill-dam. He kept the mare in town, and on a pleasant afternoon heliked to knock off early, as he phrased it, and let the mare out alittle. Corey understood something about horses, though in apassionless way, and he would have preferred to talk business whenobliged to talk horse. But he deferred to his business superior withthe sense of discipline which is innate in the apparently insubordinateAmerican nature. If Corey could hardly have helped feeling the socialdifference between Lapham and himself, in his presence he silenced histraditions, and showed him all the respect that he could have exactedfrom any of his clerks. He talked horse with him, and when the Colonelwished he talked house. Besides himself and his paint Lapham had notmany other topics; and if he had a choice between the mare and theedifice on the water side of Beacon Street, it was just now the latter.Sometimes, in driving in or out, he stopped at the house, and madeCorey his guest there, if he might not at Nantasket; and one day ithappened that the young man met Irene there again. She had come upwith her mother alone, and they were in the house, interviewing thecarpenter as before, when the Colonel jumped out of his buggy and castanchor at the pavement. More exactly, Mrs. Lapham was interviewing thecarpenter, and Irene was sitting in the bow-window on a trestle, andlooking out at the driving. She saw him come up with her father, andbowed and blushed. Her father went on up-stairs to find her mother,and Corey pulled up another trestle which he found in the back part ofthe room. The first floorings had been laid throughout the house, andthe partitions had been lathed so that one could realise the shape ofthe interior. 2ff7e9595c
