Structured interviews can also be used as a qualitative research methodology [1]. These types of interviews are best suited for engaging in respondent or focus group studies in which it would be beneficial to compare/contrast participant responses in order to answer a research question [2]. For structured qualitative interviews, it is usually necessary for researchers to develop an interview schedule which lists the wording and sequencing of questions [3]. Interview schedules are sometimes considered a means by which researchers can increase the reliability and credibility of research data [4].
