Participants sought for focus group on smoking

Hendrix Miyasaki Shin Advertising is developing a public education communications campaign based in part on input from a focus group made up of current non-smokers, ages 24 to 64, who have close friends and/or family members who smoke regularly. Former smokers may participate.

To gather valuable information on different lifestyles in Hawaii, Ward Research will conduct the focus group discussions.  Nonprofits interested in assisting with focus group referrals are encouraged to respond. Participants may be both staff and clients. In appreciation of their time, all participants will receive a cash gratuity of $60.

if you know of individuals that might be interested in participating, have them call Sandra Okuno of Ward Research, (808) 585-2315, before May 7. Please be sure to leave a message if no one is available to answer your call.  No walk-ins, please.
