תקציר	The face-to-face diary method is a data collection technique in which participants are recruited, briefed, and supported through in-person researcher contact while keeping structured or open-ended diaries over a defined period. By combining the temporal depth of diary records with the rapport and clarity of direct researcher interaction, it reduces ambiguity in diary instructions, improves compliance, and allows the researcher to probe or clarify entries at handover or follow-up meetings.	A structured interview is a data collection technique in which every participant is asked exactly the same pre-specified questions in the same order, using standardized wording. Because the interview schedule is fixed, responses across participants are directly comparable, enabling quantitative aggregation and statistical analysis. It sits at the most standardized end of the interview continuum, between the self-administered questionnaire and the semi-structured interview.
