Підсумок	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.	The diary method is a data-collection technique in which participants record their thoughts, behaviours, events, or experiences in their own words at regular or event-contingent intervals over a defined study period. By capturing data close in time to the event, diaries reduce retrospective recall bias and give researchers access to the texture of everyday life as it unfolds — something one-off surveys and retrospective interviews cannot provide.
