Whenever possible information is collected as quotes.

Informal conversations and unstructured short interviews

Short informal conversations or unstructured interview questions occur to:

1. Clarify a perspective or position noted in a meeting
   
   
2. Further identify/explore drivers for a particular action or reason behind comments
   
   
3. Obtain feedback on meeting process or intervention.

These questions would normally occur during conversation in a social setting (i.e., meal or drink breaks) and follow the principles of facilitative questioning.

Conversations may not be recorded but will be noted in the Reflexive Monitor’s meeting minutes, participants will need to give informed consent for the data to be used.
