Interview Guide. [Background information and instructions] What is the aim of conducting these interviews? The study on stakeholder acceptance of hydrogen fuel-cell technologies involves conducting structured individual interviews with a large number of stakeholders to explore their perspectives on particular hydrogen fuel-cell projects and applications (as designed in WP3). We are particularly interested in the degree of alignment among stakeholders in a certain hydrogen project. That is, are all the key stakeholders pulling in the same direction on the development of Hydrogen Fuel Cell (FCH) technologies, or are there areas where there are differences of opinion between different types of stakeholder? It is those areas of difference that need to be identified and resolved if FCHs are to progress. These differences may relate to technical issues, but more often they do not, rather relating to issues of cost, financing at different stages of production and installation, perceived public acceptability, target groups, benefits from the technology and so on.

Interview Guide. The main instrument for this research project was an in-depth semi-structured interview guide (see Appendix F). The guide enabled the interviewers to facilitate and focus the interaction with the participant. Only minor revisions were needed throughout the study because the guide was developed with a menu of different situations. An example of a question that was added was “Tell me about any people in your life who have helped you deal with your (symptom)?” because we were having difficulty getting information about social support. Using the same (or similar) interview guide for the entire process allowed comparisons to be made across the study sample (Xxxxxxx & Xxxx, 2010). Interview topics included symptom description, effects of symptoms on day-to-day life, self-management strategies used for symptoms, and facilitators of barriers to symptom self-management. In order to establish rapport with the participants, the first questions were broad and allowed the participant to freely describe him/herself and the experience of cancer (Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, 2009). The guide opened with a general question such as “Tell me about how cancer has affected your life in the last year”. The questions were designed to promote an open discussion of the participant’s experience with symptoms. As the interview progressed, the questions became increasingly focused on how the symptoms interacted and impacted day-to-day activities. The conversational nature of the semi-structured interview guide allowed the interviewers and participant to have a back and forth exchange so that the questions and responses were understood by both the interviewer and interviewee. Also, the interview guide provided a menu of questions under each topic to allow the interviewers to vary the questions in relation to the participant’s response. Communication strategies such as using open- ended questions, reflective listening, reframing, summarizing, along with positive acknowledgement and empathetic listening, were used to create a climate in which the subjects became comfortable enough to talk in depth and detail about their symptoms and the challenges of symptom management. Probing questions were used when needed to encourage participants to talk about their experience and management activities. Examples include questions, such as “Can you give me an example?” or “Tell me more about that activity”. Often the most successful technique was to allow silence after an exchange, which offered the participa...

Interview Guide. Evaluation staff from the American Cancer Society developed semi-structured interview guides and tailored them to each type of respondent (i.e. leadership, staff). See Table 2 below for a list of interview questions that were used to guide this study. The interview guide was designed to capture a range of intervention aspects, including start- up activities, implementation, practice-level changes, policy changes, staffing structure, and challenges and facilitators of the intervention. On average, interviews lasted 45-90 minutes. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim to aid with future analysis. These transcripts served as the data source for this study. Table 2 presents the evaluation questions used to guide the evaluation, and the data source used to address each question.
