The use of interviews and focus groups is well-established in the social science methods literature. However, discussion on how research can combine these two methods in creative ways is less common. While researchers are generally aware of the potential of focus groups for further probing issues that emerge in one-on-one interviews, few studies detail how this might be achieved in practice. In this article, we describe and reflect on a focus group elicitation strategy that uses individual interview excerpts to facilitate discussion in group settings. In our reflection, we draw on a study that investigated the sharing of embryo images in fertility treatment. The article contributes to the methods literature firstly, by reflecting on the novel use of individual interview material in focus groups and secondly, by discussing the re-enactment of interview excerpts as an effective audio elicitation tool to be used in the later stages of research.

使用采访摘录来促进焦点小组讨论

访谈和焦点小组的使用在社会科学方法文献中已得到广泛应用。然而，关于研究如何以创造性的方式结合这两种方法的讨论并不常见。虽然研究人员普遍意识到焦点小组在进一步探讨一对一访谈中出现的问题的潜力，但很少有研究详细说明如何在实践中实现这一点。在本文中，我们描述并反思了焦点小组启发策略，该策略使用个人访谈摘录来促进小组环境中的讨论。在我们的反思中，我们借鉴了一项研究，该研究调查了生育治疗中胚胎图像的共享。本文首先通过反思在焦点小组中个人访谈材料的新颖使用，其次通过讨论将访谈摘录的重演作为研究后期阶段使用的有效音频启发工具，对方法文献做出了贡献。
