Qualitative data collection
A focus group was conducted with participants at Week-9, after the last three-hour weekly session, to explore their experience with the MBSR program, and acceptance of technology for program delivery and home practices. The focus group was held at the FHT clinic where the study was conducted. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the qualified MBSR teachers to explore their experience providing the program. The focus group and interviews were audio-recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Participants were de-identified and given a participant number.
