The focus group discussion format is based on Halcomb and colleagues’ (2007) guidance on focus group discussion research with culturally and linguistically diverse groups. An original draft was co-designed with all facilitators and involved multiple consultation rounds among all facilitators until agreement on the final version was reached. The semi-structured questions served as guiding or trigger questions that would lead to further open-ended questions depending on how each focus group discussion progressed. Given the pragmatic nature of the study it was not possible to pilot the questions.
