The study reported here represents the ongoing development of focus group interview methods in support of health education planning for child survival programs in the CCCD project in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using illustrative examples from a field experience in Cote d'lvoire, methods that enhance the usefulness and validity of focus group interviews for health program planning are discussed.
