Appendix b: reseach tools 40. informed consent Form Focus Group Discussions Hello. My name is ____________________________________________ I work for the Population Council, an organisation that undertakes research into social and health issues to improve the wellbeing of communities. This is my colleague_____________________________who is assisting me in the discussion group by taking notes. The Population Council is collecting information from people living in this area about female circumcision. This information will be used by local organisations to improve their program implementation. I would like to invite you to join a group discussion about female circumcision, to learn more about community attitudes and practices. If you agree to take part in the discussion, we will be discussing the group’s ideas, attitudes and opinions on various aspects of female circumcision. There are no right or wrong answers to the questions we will ask as we expect that there will be different experiences and opinions among the group participants. The group discussion will take about 60 minutes. If you do not want to participate in discussing some or any of the issues, you do not have to and you can leave the discussion group at any time. We will be taking notes of the discussion. No names will be used in the notes and so anything you say will be treated as confidential. The notes will be kept safely at the Population Council’s office in Nairobi and will be considered private and confidential. It will be used for this study only and the notes will be destroyed afterwards. Any report from this discussion group will not use any names or any other information that may identify any individual person. We will provide you with a small gift to compensate you for the time spent travelling to and participating in the group discussion. Do you have any questions about participating in the discussion group? If you have any questions after the discussion, you may contact Humphries Evelia at the Population Council Office in Nairobi. (Tel. No. (02) 713480/1/2/3/4). do you agree to participate in the discussion group? YES / NO signature (or mark) of group participant Date signature of interviewer Date
