Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Structured interviews are designed to gather specific information using standardized questions and response options. They are commonly used at the start of a study to gather basic information from participants in a systematic and consistent manner. Informal, unstructured, and spontaneous interviews may also be used, but they are less structured and less reliable in terms of collecting consistent data.
