Mentoring Instructions (continued)
Interview Mentoring Form Instructions
One Interview Mentoring Form should be completed for each interview observed during the mentoring
session. “N/A” should be entered for any item that does not apply to the interview being observed. You
should provide feedback and retraining immediately upon leaving each SDU. If any errors are made, it is
important to document in the “Comments” section of the form all feedback you give and to note if
additional attention and retraining from the FS is needed.
The items below correspond to the numbered criteria on the Interviewing Mentoring Form.
1. Effectively transitioned from the screening to the interview: Was the transition to the
interview smooth? Were there any problems with getting the interview started? You should
provide the FI with helpful hints for transitioning from the screening to the interview, as needed.
Enter any notes about the suggestions provided in the “Comments” box.
2. If necessary, attained parental consent: Did the FI check with a parent or guardian before
discussing the study with a minor?
3. If IR is not SR, explained study: Make a note here if the study was not explained effectively or
if the FI provided too much information (e.g., the FI went into more detail than the respondent
needed or wanted to hear).
4. Read appropriate Informed Consent from Showcard booklet: Every Interview Respondent
(IR) must be read the Informed Consent script verbatim from the Showcard Booklet. The IR
must be given a Study Description if he or she was not also the SR. The SR should have already
been given a Study Description during the screening. Additionally, check to make sure that the
FI is reading the correct Informed Consent script (for Rs 12 – 17 vs. for Rs 18+). For minors, the
FI must first read the Parental Consent paragraph to a parent or guardian.
5. Able to answer IR questions: If the IR asked any questions and the FI had difficulty answering
them, a note should be made here. It is acceptable for you to answer the questions, but you
should only do so if the FI does not know the answer or misleads the IR. You are there to help,
but should allow the FI to interact with the respondent as much as possible.
6. Chose a private location: If there was a more appropriate place available for the FI to complete
the interview and the FI did not suggest, it should be noted here. The main concern with regard
to choosing a private location is the protection of the respondent’s confidentiality.
7. Set up laptop efficiently: Any suggestions you provide to help the new FI set up the computer
equipment should be noted here.
8. Read all front-end questions verbatim: All errors should be noted here.
9. Completed calendar correctly, reading the CAI script verbatim: In addition to listening to
what the FI is reading, you should check the calendar after the interview and remind the FI to
mail the calendar to their FS in a weekly shipment.
10. Kept calendar where R could see it: The calendar should be placed beside the computer or
beside the IR so that it can be referred to when needed.
