Topic area Sample questions Target group Was the training group suitable for the FPP? Why? Which target group do you think is best suited to participate in FPPs? How do you reach the suitable population? Fall prevention program What are positive aspects of the program? What are points of improvement of the program? Effects of the program Do you think the program has benefited the participants? If so, how? Implementation How can we make FPPs more accessible? When we want to roll out the program further, what should we consider? Financial contribution Who should bear the costs of FPPs? What can we reasonably ask for a contribution of participants? Continuation Are there possibilities for exercising after completion of the program? If so, what is offered? What is needed to encourage people to stay physically active? Other stakeholders Finally, a focus group was held with nine stakeholders. Because representatives from health insurance companies were not able to attend this focus group, they were asked to add their ideas, thoughts, and opinions to the transcript of the focus group. This focus group was held online by using Zoom Video Communications, Inc., version 5.15.7. The interview schedule for this focus group is included in Table 7.3.
