This project, sponsored by Melanie Dopson in April 2002, conducted by the Gloucestershire Research Unit and Health Psychology Department in partnership with Sue Porter, identified 4 main hard-to-reach groups. Through interviews with service providers and in-depth interviews, results were analyzed to guide dissemination, action planning, and report writing. Utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), the study aimed to understand participants' experiences and generated rich, unbiased data. Identified themes included cultural issues, service needs, children's requirements, money/employment, lifestyles, physical and psychological health, and support. Target groups comprise working parents, parents dealing with disability/illness/addiction, homeless/transitional families, and parents lacking English proficiency.
