All settings and timing of abuse mentioned by focus group participants are displayed in this table. They are ordered based on the number of focus groups mentioning, then number of participants mentioning, then number of conversation blocks.

These participants may have directly mentioned this setting or timing of abuse or have participated in a conversation block wherein it was mentioned.

Focus groups were divided into conversation blocks where participants were discussing a specific resident or theme. The conversation blocks which addressed settings or timing were counted and those counts are displayed here.
