Mobile Semi-structured Interview

A mobile semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection technique in which a researcher conducts a guided yet flexible conversation with a participant using a smartphone or tablet — through voice calls, video calls, or messaging apps. It inherits the structured flexibility of the classic semi-structured interview while leveraging mobile technology to reach participants in naturalistic, convenient, or geographically dispersed settings.
