Morgan, D.L. (2010) ‘Reconsidering the role of interaction in analyzing and reporting focus groups’, Qualitative Health Research, 20(5): 718–22. doi: 10.1177/1049732310364627.

For an example of a focus group study using thematic analysis to shed light on views of a new policy, this paper on parents’ perceptions of HPV vaccine describes well how the study was done, and lists the prompts used in the focus groups:

This study uses focus groups and observations to shed light on how a weight loss programme for men, in collaboration with football clubs, worked:
