Example 3: Individual In-depth Interview (Cognitive Interview)

(In-depth Interview Guide, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kids Web Site Development)



The purpose of these in-depth interviews is two-fold: 1) To gather insight into the perceived challenges of communicating with kids in a Web environment, and 2) To learn from the experiences of those who already manage kids’ sites and may already understand what works, what doesn’t, and why.


  1. Explanation of Interview/Warm-Up (5 minutes)


  • My name is __________________________, and I’ll be conducting today’s interview, which will take approximately 30 minutes.


  • First, I’d like to thank you for your time and for your participation; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also very appreciative of your time and opinions.


  • Before we begin our discussion, I’d like to give you some background on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or the “CDC.” The CDC is a federal agency created more than 50 years ago to control malaria in the United States. The agency is probably best known for its “disease detectives” fighting deadly infectious diseases portrayed in movies like “Outbreak” and books like “The Hotzone.” However, over the years, CDC has become the national’s primary agency responsible for disease, disability, and injury prevention. In addition to infectious diseases, the CDC works in other areas including the prevention of chronic diseases from smoking, obesity and poor diet and lack of physical activity; injuries like car accidents, falls, and violence; work place hazards; birth defects and disabilities; and environmental hazards such as lead and other toxic substances. The CDC’s findings and programs are based on rigorous science and disseminated to its partners with state and local health departments, as well as organizations to protect the health of Americans and oftentimes those around the world.


  • While the CDC has a general Web site, CDC.gov, it is currently working on developing a Web site specifically targeting youths, ages 11-18, as well as parents and teachers. The CDC is interested in your insights, experiences, and recommendations relative to communicating with youths in a Web environment.


  • I’d also like to give you a little background about what I do. I work for [company], an independent communications research firm. We talk with people all over the world about a wide range of topics.


  • We’re not affiliated with any of the organizations that we provide research for, so any positive comments you might have won’t work to my advantage, and negative comments won’t work against me. I just want your honest impressions and opinions and I’d like to stress that there are no wrong answers.


  • I will be audio taking this discussion so that I can be free from taking notes. These tapes will help me when I go back to compile a report. I will not be using your name in the report, but will instead summarize overall themes that come out of all the interviews I conduct on this project.


  1. Site Overview (5 minutes)

  • Can you describe your role with regard to your organization’s Web site? What role, if any, did you plan in developing the site? What role, if any, do you have in developing content for the site?


  • How long has the site existed?


  • In general, what is the purpose of the site? What is the site’s overall objective? Secondary objectives? Explain.


  • Who do you target with the site? [PROBE: age, gender, interest, parents, teachers, etc.]


  • What have you found works well with each of the audiences your site targets? How do you know? [PROBE: Evaluation and research methods used.] What have you found doesn’t work so well with each of these audiences? How do you know? [PROBE: Evaluation and research methods used.]


  1. Experiences Developing/Managing a Youth Web Site (20 minutes)


  • How would you define a successful youth Web site? In your opinion, what makes a site successful? What are the top three attributes of a successful youth Web site?


  • What specific youth Web sites do you consider successful? In your opinion, what make these sites successful?


  • In general, what challenges have you faced in developing and/or managing your Web site? How did you overcome these challenges? What have you learned from these experiences that you could share with CDC?


  • What have you learned about communicating with youths in a Web environment? What communications barriers have you encountered? How did you overcome these barriers? What have you learned from these experiences that you could share with the CDC?


  • What have you learned about communicating with parents in a Web environment? Educators? What communications barriers have you encountered? How did you overcome these barriers? What have you learned from these experiences that you could share with the CDC?


  • What have you learned about communicating health-related information to youths in a Web environment? Parents? Teachers? What experiences can you share with the CDC? What recommendations can you offer the CDC in communicating health-related information to youths?


  • What have you learned about communicating science-related information to youths in a Web environment? Youths? Parents? Teachers? What experiences can you share with the CDC? What recommendations can you offer the CDC in communicating science-related information to youths?


  1. Additional Questions (time remaining)


  • Offer opportunity to advise CDC with Web site development

  • Extend assistance from CDC with target’s site

  • Thank respondents for time and opinions

  • Answer any respondent questions

Example 5 - Focus Group Moderator’s Guide

(Source: Folic Acid Message Concept Testing Focus Groups among 3 Audience Segments)


I. INTRODUCTION AND ICEBREAKER (10 minutes)


Introduction and purpose

Thank you for coming. Your presence and participation today are very important. My name is ____________ and I work for an independent communications company. I will be moderating today’s discussion.


Today, we’re going to be looking at some materials that are designed to educate women on important health topics. I want to know what you like and dislike about these materials. The feedback you will give us today is information we could not get anywhere else. Thank you for your willingness to come and give us your opinions. We think you’ll enjoy talking about this important issue.


A. Procedure


Before we begin, I would like to start with some ground rules for our discussion today:


  • There are no wrong answers. Please be completely honest. We’re as interested in learning what you don’t like as we are in learning what you do like.

  • Everyone’s participation is important. Part of my job as moderator is to make sure we get a chance to hear from everyone, so, at times, I may call on you, or ask you to shorten your remarks so someone else has the chance to speak.

  • Your participation is completely voluntary. You may refuse to answer any question and may choose to leave the group at any time.

  • We want this to be a group discussion, so you don’t need to wait for me to call on you to speak, and please feel free to respond directly to other people’s thoughts and ideas.

  • Our discussion today is being tape recorded. These recordings allow us to write a more complete report, and to make sure we accurately reflect your opinions. However, please only speak one at a time, so that the tape recorder can pick up all your comments.

  • [When Applicable] I am working with some other people on this project, and they will be observing our conversation from the other side of this mirror.

  • Our discussion is totally confidential. We will not use your names in any report.



Public reporting burden of this collection of information is estimated to average two hours minutes including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.  Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to CDC/ATSDR Reports Clearance Officer; 1600 Clifton Road NE, MS D-74,  Atlanta, Georgia 30333; ATTN:  PRA (0920-XXXX)

  • As moderator, my job is to keep the discussion focused on the subject. If I see that we are deviating from the subject, I will bring us back to the topic so we can finish on time.

  • If you have a cell phone with you, please turn it off or silence the ringer. Thanks.

B. Introductions


Before we begin, I would like each of you to take a few moments to introduce yourself. Please tell the group:


    1. Your name

    2. How long you have lived in this area


Thanks for sharing!


As I mentioned, I am going to show you some ideas and materials that might be used as part of an educational campaign. The materials we are going to look at today are about a B vitamin called folic acid. Some of you may have heard of this vitamin, others may not. I’ll tell you more about folic acid later on in the group, but, for right now, I just want your reaction to these materials no matter what you know about folic acid.


Please be candid in your opinions and feel free to tell me if there are things you don’t like. I did not work on these ideas myself and it will not hurt my feelings if there is something you don’t like. At the same time, I want to hear what you do like about these materials, so we can make sure not to change things that you do like.


II. REACTIONS TO ADVERTISING CONCEPTS (10-15 minutes/concept, max 75 minutes)


I want to start by showing you some advertising concept boards. Before I show them to you, I want to emphasize that these are very preliminary ideas – not finished words or artwork. These are just to stimulate your thinking about what words and pictures you think would help women like you learn about this topic. These materials might be the basis for transit ads, ads in magazines, posters or brochures.


[Discussion should go beyond evaluating these concepts to get at potential alternative words and images that resonate most with participants.]


AD CONCEPT #1: [Repeat series of questions with each new item; display items in a random order]


Let’s start by looking at this board. [Unveil concept board and give participants some time to look at it]


  1. What would you say is the main idea of this ad? Summarize in your own words what it is trying to say. Anything else?

  2. What is the first thing you thought of when you saw the board? Anything else?

  3. What is your immediate reaction to this ad? Do you like it or dislike it? Why or why not?

  4. Does this ad get your attention? If yes, what about it gets your attention? If no, why do you think that is?

  5. Are you interested in what this ad has to say? Why or why not?

  6. Is there anything unclear about the visuals or words in this ad? If yes, what is unclear?

  7. Do you like or dislike the images in this ad? Why or why not?

  8. Who do you think this ad is designed for?

  9. How believable is this ad? Why?

  10. What do you like the most about this ad? What do you like the least?

  11. What about the phrase [CONCEPT]? What do you think of this term? What does it mean to you?

  12. If you saw this item, do you think it would have any effect on the things you do? If yes, how so? If no, why not?

  13. Anything else you want to tell us about this ad?

[Repeat these questions for each advertising concept board]

Thanks for sharing, this information is really helpful!


III. COMPARISON OF ADVERTISING CONCEPTS (20 minutes)


Now I want to tell you a little more about folic acid. Folic acid is a B vitamin that can prevent serious birth defects in babies, and Hispanic women are especially likely to have babies with these birth defects. These birth defects happen before most women even know they are pregnant. Since many pregnancies are unplanned, all women of childbearing age need to get enough folic acid every day to prevent these birth defects, even if they are not thinking of becoming pregnant. Taking a multivitamin every day is one way to do this. For some unknown reason, Hispanic women have the highest rates of the birth defects that folic acid can prevent, so it’s important for us to reach Hispanic women with this information.


The purpose of the ads you’ve been looking at is to encourage Hispanic women to take a multivitamin every day, so that Hispanic women have fewer babies with these birth defects. I want to show you all these materials, and have you tell me which materials you think are most likely to encourage Hispanic women to take a daily multivitamin.


[Display all the concepts side by side and pass out ranking sheet]


First, I want you to think about this on your own and then rank the concepts on this sheet of paper. After everyone has ranked the concepts on their own, we will talk about your choices. Each of the concepts we have discussed is labeled with a letter (A, B, C, etc.). The concepts are also listed on this sheet of paper. Write a 1 next to the concept that would most motivate you to take folic acid, a 2 to the next most motivational concept, and so forth.


[Allow time for rankings]


  1. Which concept did you rank as most likely to convince Hispanic women to take a daily vitamin? Why? What do you think makes this concept effective? [Ask of all the women]

  2. Which concept did you rank as next most likely to convince Hispanic women to take a daily vitamin? Why? What do you think makes this concept effective?

  3. Which of these concepts did you like the most? Why? Is this a different concept from the one you thought would be most effective? Why is that?

  4. Which one was most inspiring or motivating for you personally? Why? Is this a different concept from the one you thought would be most effective? Why is that?

  5. Which one is most believable? Why?

  6. Which concept would be most likely to make you aware of the importance of taking folic acid? Why?

  7. Which of these concepts taught you the most about folic acid? What did you learn? Why did you think it was important?

  8. Which of these concepts do you like the least, or think is least likely to convince women to take a vitamin? Why?

  9. Now that you know a little more about folic acid, is there anything you think these materials should tell women that they don’t? If yes, what is that?

  10. What else do you want to know about folic acid that you want to see addressed in these materials?

  11. Is there one concept that you like so much or think is so important that you don’t want to see it changed? If so, which one and why?

  12. Is there anything else you want to say about these materials?

Great! I just have a couple more things I want to talk about.



IV. LOGOS AND WAYS TO DISTRIBUTE INFORMATION (15 minutes)


The concepts we looked at did not have anything on them to identify what organization is sponsoring them. I want to talk a little about possible organizations that could sponsor and distribute these materials.


  1. If these materials were sponsored by a government organization, would this make the information more believable? Why or why not? Would this make the information more motivating? Why or why not?

  2. One potential government sponsor of these materials is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention or CDC. Have you heard of the CDC? If yes, what have you heard? What would you think of CDC as a sponsor of these materials?

  3. How about having the logo of an organization [such as the March of Dimes or the Spina Bifida Association of America] on these concepts? Have you heard of these organizations? Would this make the information more believable? Why or why not? Would this make the information more motivating? Why or why not?

  4. How about having the name of companies such as pharmaceutical firms that make vitamins? Would this make the information more believable? Why or why not? Would this make the information more motivating? Why or why not?

  5. Is there another organization you would want to see sponsor these materials? If so, which one? Any others?

[List all the organizations mentioned, including CDC, etc., on a flipchart]

  1. Of all these different sponsors we’ve discussed [reference flipchart], which organization would you want to see sponsor these materials? Why?

  2. Which organization would make the information most believable? Why?

  3. Which would make the information most motivating? Why?

Now let’s talk about where you would want to get this information.

  1. Where would you want to get this information? Anywhere else?

  2. Are there some places in particular that you would be most likely to notice and pay attention to these messages? Why is that?

I have just a few more questions.



V. FINAL COMMENTS AND THANK YOU (5 minutes)


  1. Is there anything else that we have not discussed today that you think is important?

  2. Finally, do you have any other questions or is there anything else you would like to say?

Thank you for coming! Your feedback and thoughts have been very important, and we appreciate your assistance. This project is being sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also called CDC. CDC is developing materials for Hispanic women to encourage them to get enough folic acid so that Hispanic women have healthy babies. Your input helps CDC accomplish this important goal. If you have any questions about folic acid, please let me know, and I can give you more information on this topic.

Example 6: Online Interview

(Source: CDC-Emergency Preparedness and Response NetRaker Content and Usability Evaluation)


Invitation methods: Link invitation


Welcome Letter at Beginning:

We’d like to invite you to give us feedback about CDC’s Emergency Preparedness and Response website. Your feedback is very important. It will take about 12 minutes to complete this questionnaire. (If you are a CDC employee or contractor, please do not complete this questionnaire.)


First, we’re going to ask you some questions about your background. Then we may ask you to perform some tasks on the site, and we’d like you to perform as you normally would. So please work with the same speed and attention to detail that you normally do. Do your best but don’t be overly concerned with results, because we’re testing the site to see how well it works – we’re not testing you at all. While you’re on the site you should just use it in whatever matter is comfortable and normal for you.


While we would like to get your responses to all of the questions contained in this evaluation, we also respect your time and wishes, so you can choose to leave this evaluation at any time. We will not be able to identify individual participants. Your responses will be treated in a confidential manner. All information is used for evaluation purposed only and does not involve sales of any kind,


Click the “continue” button below to begin. Then select your answer for each question and click the “next” button at the top of the page to precede through the survey.


Thank You Message at End:
