Tóm tắt	A mobile semi-structured interview is a qualitative data collection technique in which a researcher conducts a guided yet flexible conversation with a participant using a smartphone or tablet — through voice calls, video calls, or messaging apps. It inherits the structured flexibility of the classic semi-structured interview while leveraging mobile technology to reach participants in naturalistic, convenient, or geographically dispersed settings.	The semi-structured interview is a qualitative data-collection method in which the researcher prepares a set of key questions or topic areas in advance but remains free to probe, follow up, and reorder as the conversation evolves. Unlike structured interviews — which fix every question and sequence — or unstructured interviews — which are entirely open — the semi-structured format balances comparability across participants with the flexibility needed to capture the depth and nuance of individual perspectives. It is the most widely used interview format in social science, health, and education research.
