(3) How do you generally receive health information? (4) What is the most effective way for you, your family and community to receive health information? (5) Have you ever participated in research?

(6) In general, do you think research is important to improving health? (7) What concerns do you have about participating in research? (8) What are some of the barriers to participating in research?
