Rainbow Research contracted with the Tobacco Law Center to conduct a series of 4 focus groups concerning the provision of tobacco cessation benefits to union members through grants from the Taft-Hartley Fund. The focus groups were conducted between June and August, 2007 in the Twin Cities and in Greater Minnesota. Rainbow, in cooperation with the principal investigator and project steering committee, developed the interview guide. Rainbow moderated the groups and thematically analyzed the notes for the final report to the Tobacco Law Center.
