Document Setup and Context

Choose only what is known. These answers adjust guidance and can be changed later.

What the interviews are forChoose the closest fit. The purpose shapes the research questions, not the question wording.How the interviews will be heldPhone and video calls usually need a shorter guide and a firmer opening than a face-to-face visit.Interview languageChoose Several or Interpreter if any interview will not be held in the language the guide is written in.Topic and informant sensitivityChoose Not yet assessed if you are unsure. Officials can face risk too when they are asked to judge their own institution.RecordingRecording is always the informant’s choice. Plan written notes as the fallback either way.Time available per interview (minutes)A key informant interview usually runs 45 to 90 minutes. Use the time the informant has agreed to, not the time you wish for.
