In-Depth Semi-Structured Interviewing: Researching Domestic Violence as a Public Health Issue in Bangladesh

Abstract

This case study discusses the complex issues of data collection (gaining access to and recruiting participants, building rapport, translation, and transcription) and other practical challenges of conducting sensitive research like domestic violence in Sylhet, a city geo-spatially located in the northeastern part of Bangladesh, using in-depth face-to-face semi-structured interviews. The methodological issues discussed in this case study would help researchers to replicate similar public health research.
