Strengths and limitations of the AFG method
| Strengths | Limitations |
|---|---|
| Connects a discursive dimension with practicalities → multidimensional data | More resource demanding than traditional focus group discussions |
| Conducting familiar activities in the group fosters reflection on routine behaviour | The activities can take focus away from the discussion or leave some participants with a minor role |
| A low-threshold setting | Only suitable for research contexts that are not too personal nor too complex |
| Efficient: multiple practices in one session | |
| Natural: ability to release tension and formality and to keep participants active → fruitful discussion |
