Interrater agreement (linearly weighted kappa) was assessed using a standard set of videotaped interviews.
There has been a tendency, particularly in public health research, to assume that social science research comes from a homogenous group of academic disciplines, and provides a standard set of tools (usually interviews and focus group discussions) applied and interpreted in a subjective manner.

We explored different adherence-related topics during these interviews using a standard set of questions.
Case and control mothers were interviewed by telephone using a standard set of questions, with answers directly entered into a computer.
aThe Cochrane review on organized inpatient care for stroke included an interview with individual trialists that used a standard set of criteria.

Once a standard set of questions is developed, be sure that all students write them down for use in their interviews.
Why did you choose this particular set of interviews?
