Semi-structured interviews
Semi-structured interviews are conducted with four members of each selected clinic: the clinic champion, one clinician, one front desk team member, and one medical assistant/nursing team member. The clinic champion assists in the identification of the other team members for interviews based on their experience with the mPATH™ program. An interview guide is used to explore how mPATH™-CRC was incorporated in the clinic’s work flow and factors that affected maintenance such as intervention adaptations, organizational characteristics, and the champion’s role. There is a separate version of the interview guide for clinics that have very low (or no) usage of mPATH™ during their participation in the study. Members of clinics that opt to discontinue the use of mPATH™ are interviewed as soon as practical after they discontinue use. Interviews will continue until thematic saturation is reached. These semi-structured interviews, expected to last approximately 30 min, are conducted by phone or video conference and analyzed by staff trained in qualitative methods. Interviews are audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts will be imported into ATLAS.ti software [
