Q1. What is a discussion group?

A discussion group is composed of several participants (on average 6 to 8 people) meeting specific criteria and representative of a population together with a moderator/coordinator. The latter asks questions and encourages exchanges between the participants in order to determine more accurately their habits, opinions and needs. In certain cases, these meetings are organized on the basis of face-to-face interviews in order to collect more precise information. The aim of these discussion groups is not at all to sell you something.

Q3. What criteria do I have to meet to participate in a survey?

Depending on the subject or product being researched, we are interested in very specific profiles. If you express an interest in participating in a group, we will always ask you a small number of questions. We use your replies to check whether or not you correspond to the desired research profile. For example, if one of our surveys concerns children, we are interested in participants who are parents. Do not be surprised therefore if, for certain groups, we invite for example only women.
