Focus groups characteristics and participants

Abstract

The quotations of participants' opinions and beliefs were marked with codes in the following manner (for instance, 1ET36FH and 6RU35MS). Each code begins with a focus group number (1-6), followed by an abbreviation indicating the spoken language of the participant (ET-Estonian, RU-Russian), and then a notation showing the age, gender (F-female, M-male), and education level (H-higher, S-secondary) of the participant. In addition, an asterisk was also (*; **) used in cases where the social demographics code is the same as it appears in the focus groups nr. 1 and 2 (Table 2).
