Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Telephone interviews allow for flexibility in follow-up questions and interviewer feedback, which can lead to more in-depth and accurate responses from participants. This is an advantage over other methods such as online questionnaires. However, it may not necessarily be less expensive than online questionnaires, and standardization of interpretation still relies on the interviewer's skills and training. Response rates may also vary depending on the target population. Controlling interviewer variability is a possible advantage, but it is not mentioned as an option in the question.
