We are looking for current Martin’s Point members to provide their insight and feedback during upcoming focus groups in Portland. The sessions will be led by a professionally trained moderator from Deft Research.
Information relating to our Focus Groups can be found below.
Below are general questions that people may have prior to completing the Focus Group screening.
Deft Research is an independent market research company that provides specialized qualitative research for the healthcare industry, focusing on understanding member behaviors through focus groups and interviews.
Digital Research is a market research firm located in Portland. The focus groups will be taking place at their research facility in Old Port at 172 Commercial St, Portland, ME 04101.
The purpose of the research interviews is to gather thoughts and opinions from Martin’s Point Members about a range of topics relating to your health insurance and the various tools and resources available to you.
We are looking for a diverse group of current members living in proximity to Portland who can commit to approximately 2 hours of their time to attend an in-person session on May 20 in Portland and are able to bring along a laptop or a tablet for the session.
The participants are selected based on answers to several screening questions. If you are not selected, then it is likely that the group you would have qualified for was already full.
The focus group session includes several hands-on exercises that require the use of a computer that you are comfortable using. If you show up for our group and do not have your computer or tablet with you, you will not be able to participate and cannot be paid.
All the information collected during the group sessions is completely confidential. Deft Research will compile the findings into a comprehensive report that addresses the key research themes and questions. Nothing in this report will be specific to any one participant—the report covers findings in the aggregate.
Below are questions that people may have upon their selection for participation in the Focus Group.
There is parking in and around the research facility.
Participants will be provided with a $100 honorarium in the form of a gift card at the end of the session.
For questions about the research in general, please contact Deft Research at 813-468-2251. But please reference the Martin’s Point focus groups.
If you have been recruited into a group as a participant and have questions after that, please contact Digital Research (the location for the groups) at 207-618-8143. Again, please reference the Martin’s Point focus groups.
