Abstract

This paper explores specific challenges in implementing community-based group interventions with adolescents and makes practical suggestions to researchers who contemplate the group approach. Group interventions have important implications for adolescent research and program development in the area of chronic illness. They have a capacity to address participants' psychosocial needs as well as to offer a cost and time-effective opportunity for disease-specific education. A group intervention encompasses an array of pragmatic challenges that need to be addressed through meticulous preparation. Based on the authors' firsthand experience with a group intervention for adolescents with asthma, this paper describes potential difficulties and logistics pertaining to recruitment, planning and implementation of a group intervention targeting adolescents and suggests general strategies that can be adopted.
