Telephone-assisted Semi-structured Interview

A telephone-assisted semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection technique in which a researcher conducts a guided conversation with a participant over the telephone, using a pre-designed topic guide that balances predetermined questions with freedom to probe and explore. It combines the flexibility of semi-structured interviewing with the geographic reach and logistical convenience of telephone communication, making it widely used in health, social, and organizational research.
