Abstract

Five focus groups were conducted in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, to assess the needs of the local Latino population. The assessment was conducted to determine how Manitowoc County UW-Extension could assist Latinos in their efforts to effectively assimilate into their new communities. Making the focus group process culturally appropriate improves the likelihood of obtaining useful data.
