Marcus is a clinical psychologist. He is investigating the coping mechanisms and treatment experiences of young adults attending a regional wellness clinic for anxiety disorders. Marcus has decided to use semi-structured interviews to ask the young adults about their daily stressors, the coping strategies they find most helpful, and how the clinic's services can be improved.
Marcus conducts face-to-face interviews with each young adult individually and incorporates a mix of open and closed questions. After completing the interviews, Marcus transcribes the recordings, carries out a thematic analysis, and reports his findings to the wellness clinic's clinical director.
