Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The primary purpose of an interview guide is to assist the researcher in standardizing the interview process, ensuring that all participants are asked the same questions in the same way. This helps to increase the reliability and validity of the data collected. While interview guides may also provide information to participants about the study, this is a secondary purpose. Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) review and approve research protocols, including interview guides, for ethical considerations related to the protection of human subjects. Site personnel may assist researchers with gaining entry, but this is not the primary purpose of an interview guide.
