US Virgin Islands Three Main Islands St. Croix St. Thomas St. John 346 Square miles (about twice size of Washington DC) 110,000 residents

The Focus Groups Goal: To further understanding of how residents of the USVI view health issues, including how good health is defined, the role of mainstream and alternative health care delivery systems in achieving better health, and to pinpoint issues that need further study.

The Focus Groups Six Focus Groups One group for each gender from each island. Research conducted Spring 2008.

What is the role of personal responsibility in attaining good health? Feelings about health care professionals’ “customer service.” Where do people in the USVI obtain health information?

Issues for Future Research Multi-dimensional view of “health” Partnerships in health Huge concerns about confidentiality
