    We meet with Dr. Chapman in order to gain more insight about how to conduct focus groups. It was a productive meeting where we were able to get to know key starting points in order to outline the further steps that we need to follow including a Timeline guide and a checklist with all what needs to be arranged in order to successfully conduct Focus Groups in Story County to dig more about Food Insecurity.

    We met briefly with our County Team leader via phone call and we were able to agree that the main health priority in which we will focus this Service Learning Project will be Food Insecurity. Another aspect that needs more research is the quality of the food that is available within the County. We were also updated about her progress with her meetings, in which we will be helping to provide resources to the defined main topic. Her team found valuable and interesting the joint work that we were doing together.
    Further steps look forward undertaking a meeting with Dr. Chapman to deepen in how Focus Groups should be effectively conducted in the context of Community Health and Health Promotion for Story County.

    We had a one hour meeting with our Story County Leader. We agreed to focus the project on Food insecurity and its strong relationship with obesity, physical activity and other noncommunicable diseases. We agreed to meet next week in order to discuss findings about more recent data focused in this public health problems from Story County.
    Furthermore, we will be working in the development of a focus group strategy. Thus, we will outline potential target members of the community to ask specific questions that may help to get to know more about what is still unknown and need to be depicted before any intervention strategy can be undertaken.
