Because it is difficult to anticipate the perspectives of different parents in this situation, organizing the interview around a long list of predetermined questions is not optimal. For example, if a parent has very little familiarity with the Zoology Workshop, many questions as worded may not make sense. Giving the interviewer more latitude to respond to and encourage each parent's set of views probably is the better course. This implies that the interview should be less structured, building on only a few very general questions about the main interview topics (e.g., how informed and supportive the parent is), and allowing the interviewer to follow up with appropriate questions that are tailored to the initial reactions of the parent. Under each general question, it may be helpful to list prompts for follow-up questions that remind the interviewer of all the kinds of information you hope to elicit, depending on the initial reactions (e.g., if a parent seems familiar with the workshop, you would prompt for the parent's various sources of information; if the parent is not very familiar, you would prompt for why various communication attempts failed).
