An open group is a group that adds members throughout the life of the group as other members leave and as more persons who would benefit from the group become available.A closed group does not add new members;the membership is established at the beginning and,except for the occasional losses as some members leave,does not change thereafter.A homogenous group includes members who are similar,and a heterogeneous group includes dissimilar members;not enough data are provided here to determine which applies in this case.
