Muhtasari	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.	A mobile survey is a self-report questionnaire designed and administered through smartphones or tablets, either via a mobile-optimized web browser or a dedicated app. As mobile devices became the dominant mode of internet access globally, surveys must be built for small screens, touch interaction, and variable connectivity. Mobile surveys are used across social science, public health, market research, and organizational studies when reaching respondents in their natural, everyday context is a priority.
