Semi–Structured Interviews Semi-structured interviews are based not on a questionnaire but on a checklist of questions pertaining to identified issues which can be adapted according to the interview situation. Interviews are conversations guided informally by the interviewer. They are used widely in qualitative research. One of the advantages of this approach is the richness of the data they yield. Original quotes can bring colour and life to a research project. Audio recording is useful for accuracy. Cues or prompts can be used to extract further information. Process Select sample – the people you wish to interview Arrange interviews Conduct interviews Analyse data Consider validity and reliability issues Write report Provide information in advance to interviewees explaining aim of project and preferably the benefits for them. Choose a suitable venue and time to reduce risk of distractions. Interviews that are recorded are easier to analyse but you do not have to do this. If you are going to record interviews then set up recording equipment in advance. Send a transcript of the interview to interviewees for confirmation of content if you wish to be thorough. Provide interviewees with a copy of the results and recommendations when complete. Be confident Allow sufficient time Data analysis Index cards are an ideal and simple way of collating the data. Identify a concept, place in a category and develop a theme using a systematic approach. You can use a computer package such as ATLAST/ti or QSR NUD*ist, IF you are competent in the use of such a package. Validity and reliability Maintain careful records of interviews and observations. Validate by copies of transcripts sent back to interviewees to verify content. Backward Forward
