Face-to-face interviews are particularly valuable in epidemiological studies for several reasons:
1. Rapport Building: Direct interaction helps build trust, making participants more likely to provide accurate and comprehensive answers. 2. Clarification: Interviewers can clarify questions in real-time, reducing the risk of misunderstandings. 3. Detailed Data Collection: This method allows for the collection of complex and nuanced data, which might be difficult to capture through self-administered questionnaires.
