Glossary Term

Structured Interview

An interview that follows a standardized set of questions asked in a fixed order.

A structured interview uses a fixed script and standardized prompts to ensure all participants receive the same questions. This consistency reduces interviewer effects and improves comparability.

BPI and digital CHAT-E implementations are structured by design, often using a forced-choice format that suits early childhood.
