This chapter provides strengths and weaknesses of this method, the procedures for planning and conducting structured interviews, and tips for gathering reliable data. The semi-structured interview is useful for when you know something about a topic, but want to give users an opportunity to raise new issues. Semi-structured interviews are useful when you are working with a complex issue because you can use probes and spontaneous questions to explore, deepen understanding, and clarify answers to questions.
