תקציר	A longitudinal semi-structured interview study collects open-ended, guided interview data from the same participants across multiple time points. By returning to the same individuals — weeks, months, or years apart — researchers can trace how experiences, perceptions, and meanings change over time. The approach blends the flexibility of qualitative inquiry with the temporal depth that is impossible in a one-shot design, making it a cornerstone method in qualitative longitudinal research.	Longitudinal in-depth interviewing is a qualitative data collection technique in which the same participants are interviewed in depth on multiple occasions across a defined time span. By revisiting the same people over weeks, months, or years, researchers can trace how experiences, identities, attitudes, and meanings change — something a single interview cannot reveal. It is widely used in life-course research, health studies, education, and social policy.
