INTERVIEW
Interviews as a Data Collection Tool
• Interviewing is a form of questioning characterized by the
fact that it employs verbal questioning as its principal
technique of data collection.
• Interviews are employed by people in everyday life, but as
a scientific tool of social research, or better as a method of
data collection, interviewing is different with regard to its
preparation, construction, and execution in that it is
prepared and executed in a systematic way.
• Interviews basically consist of asking questions,
listening to individuals and recording their
responses.

INTERVIEW INTERVIEW
Interview Types
Fully structured interview: Has predetermined questions
with fixed wording, usually in a pre-set order. The use of
mainly open-response questions is the only essential
difference from an interview-based survey questionnaire.
Semi-structured interview: Has predetermined questions,
but the order can be modified based upon the interviewer's
perception of what seems most appropriate. Question
wording can be changed and explanations given; particular
questions which seem inappropriate with a particular
interviewee can be omitted, or additional ones included.
Unstructured interviews: The interviewer has a general
area of interest and concern, but lets the conversation
develop within this area. It can be completely informal.
Interview Guides
A guide is not a rigidly structured set of
questions to be asked verbatim as written,
accompanied by an associated range of pre-
worded likely answers. Rather, it is a list of
items to be sure to ask about when talking to
the person being interviewed. You want
interviewees to speak freely in their own
terms about a set of concerns you bring to
the interaction, plus whatever else they might
introduce.
Steps to Develop the Guide
WHO (the World Health Organization) suggested
six steps to devise an interview guide. These
include
• Identify appropriate topics and questions
• Decide on the level of detail
• Draft the questions
• Order the questions.
• List any probes or prompts and
• Pilot the questions. Have the informant
identify the problems during the pilot.
Preparing for Interviews
It is necessary for the researcher to prepare before the actual interview. The interview
prep should start well before the interview actually begins. Once the interview is
conducted the researcher needs to make sure that the respondents have:
A clear idea of why they have been approached
Basic information about the purpose of the interview and the
research project of which it is a part
Some idea of the probable length of the interview and that you would
like to record it (explaining why and getting permission)
A clear idea of precisely where and when the interview will take
place
Maintaining Control of the Interview

you need
