As part of its 2007-08 Annual Workplan,
the YAWG identified the organization of focus groups with
young adults as a key deliverable. The objective of the focus
groups was to hear directly from young adults about the major
health challenges that affect learning. The focus groups with
young adults took place during the months of October and November
2007 at college, institute and university campuses in six
different provinces of the country. The institutions that
participated in the focus groups are listed below.
