Summary
This research case describes how the minigroup, or small focus group, method can be used to refine methodology for a qualitative research project. It was undertaken during the first year of the first author's PhD exploring parental feeding practices in relation to picky eating. Although some researchers argue that a robust consultation process is an important element of carrying out sensitive and ethical research, the participant voice is seldom heard in relation to methodological considerations. This case outlines the process of conducting a minigroup which aims to prioritize the participant voice, to ensure that research is as sensitive and ethical as possible. There is also a consideration of some of the challenges inherent in consulting on qualitative methodology. Some practical suggestions for researchers and students wishing to use a similar approach are offered. Finally, this case provides an overview of the methodological changes made as a result of this consultation process.
