Method evidence record

Mobile Structured Interview

A mobile structured interview is a standardised data collection technique in which an interviewer — or a self-administering respondent — answers a fixed, pre-determined set of questions using a smartphone or tablet application. Every respondent receives identical question wording and response options, ensuring comparability across cases while leveraging the reach, geolocation capabilities, and offline functionality of mobile devices.
