What methods did you find useful and why?

The initial survey that we did was very useful as it backed up our problem and allowed us to move forward.

How did these inform the response to your problem?

By knowing that the majority of people we asked said that the texture of fruit affected their five-a-day intake, we decided that the next step would be to inform people of the alternatives to fresh fruit that also count towards their five-a-day.

What methods did you find problematic?

-

How did you overcome this? How will you address these issues in the future?

-

What research didn’t you carry out that would have proved successful?

We could have gotten some qualitative primary research by asking people to elaborate on the particular fruits they had problems with.

What five things would you do differently next time?

-Taken the solution out into the public domain.

-Asked people to elaborate on why texture affected their 5-a-day intake.
