Telephone-assisted In-depth Interview

A telephone-assisted in-depth interview is a qualitative data collection method in which a researcher conducts a lengthy, open-ended, exploratory conversation with a participant via telephone. It preserves the depth and flexibility of face-to-face in-depth interviewing while overcoming geographic and mobility barriers, making it particularly useful when participants are dispersed, housebound, or when travel is impractical.
