Note. Small refers to students who attended high schools with less than 400 students. Medium refers to students who attended high schools with 400 – 800 students. Large refers to students who attended high schools with 800+ students. Respondents were given the option to choose Male, Female or Other on the recruitment screener. Eight participants were recruited for each focus group; however, the varying number of participants reflects respondents who did not show up for their focus group. Heterogeneous focus groups consisted of a mix of students who may have identified as any of the following: Black/African American, Latinx, Asian/Asian America, White, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Other. Groups are numbered in the order we conducted each focus group.
