Tóm tắt	A pilot-tested semi-structured interview combines the flexibility of semi-structured interviewing — a guide of open-ended questions allowing conversational depth — with a mandatory pre-study pilot phase in which the guide is trialled on a small subset of participants or informants. The pilot reveals ambiguous questions, poor sequencing, and missing topics before the main data collection begins, substantially strengthening the validity and efficiency of the final instrument.	A pilot-tested in-depth interview is a qualitative data collection approach in which the interview guide is administered to a small number of participants before the main study, specifically to identify ambiguous questions, refine probes, estimate session duration, and verify that the protocol elicits rich, relevant narratives. The revised guide is then used in the full data collection phase, improving data quality and interview consistency.
