The Pre‑Interview Risk Assessment Checklist is a practical, ready‑to‑use tool designed to help evaluators identify and address potential risks before conducting any interview. Interviews can vary widely in sensitivity, participant needs, and contextual complexity, all of which influence participant safety, interviewer well‑being, and the quality of data collected. This checklist guides evaluators through a structured review of key risk domains, including topic sensitivity, participant characteristics, interviewer safety, ethical considerations, and confidentiality.
Designed for evaluators, researchers, program staff, and anyone conducting qualitative interviews, this resource helps ensure interviews are safe, thoughtful, and aligned with best practices in ethical data collection. Whether working with sensitive populations or exploring complex topics, the checklist provides a reliable process for making informed decisions about when to proceed, modify, or postpone an interview.
