College Alcohol Policies   
Focus Group Discussion Data
Two focus groups were held with college staff who had been involved in
writing their own colleges' alcohol policies and who, in many instances, had
also served on the Working Group which drafted the national framework
document.  A total of fourteen college staff   including student service
administrators, nursing and medical staff from student health centres,
health promotion workers, chaplains and academics   participated in these
focus groups, each of which lasted for an hour and a half.  The aim of the
focus group in social research (Bloor et al., 2001) is to create a group
dynamic so that participants do not just respond as individuals to issues
raised by the group moderator but spark off one another spontaneously,
thereby generating richer and more detailed data than might be
forthcoming from individual interviews. In this instance, the focus group
worked well in that participants were happy to have an opportunity to
discuss their own individual and institutional experiences in creating college
alcohol policies and to compare notes with colleagues from other
institutions.  Again, analysis of transcribed data from these discussions is
guided by the main themes of the framework document.
