Table 1 Focus group questions

• What did you think of the information in the presentations? (Amount of information, length of presentation)

• What did you like the least (best) about the presentation? (General/amount of information, activity, speaker, time commitment, convenience)

• For the future, if we had to make one change that would make the presentations better, what could we do to improve the presentations?

• What are your thoughts on the handouts? (Tracking with materials, helpful)

• When you think of “Diabetes prevention,” what are some words/phrases that come to mind?

• We know that you are interested in learning about technology because you are here at Senior Planet. Do you see your peers participating in a technology-based program like this? If not, why?

• How much of this information was new to you? If it was not new to you, where have you heard the information in the past?

• Some of you shared ways that you track your food intake. How do you think using a nutrition smartphone application would change your participation in this program?

• Fitbit has a tool where you can track each other’s activity. Do you see yourself using this to interact with other group members to see their physical activity?

• If this program were repeated, what would you like to be added?
