Information interviewing 34 structuring

Structured written summaries of intake interviews (see Figure 4.1 as an example) are placed into the clients chart. As you can see by this example, there are certain areas of information that you will want to investigate with the client during the intake. First, you want to document basic identifying information, as well... 

At this point, there was enough information together to build a first prototype. Each intermediate or final conclusion defined a decision module. These modules were organized into a hierarchical structure. Within each module, example table structures were created. Based on the interviewing records, a first cut at the example sets was entered. At this point, a running prototyi>e expert system existed. 

Conduct follow-up interviews in the same general manner as other interviews, hut use a more structured, straight-to-the-point interview style. Initially, the interviewer may use open-ended questions, hut follow-up, closed-ended questions are usually asked sooner than they would he asked during the initial interview. Ensure that witnesses do not believe that the follow-up interview indicates the interviewer doubts their credibility. Focus on the gaps in information and apparent inconsistencies. 

Most structured interviews do not ascertain information about conditions that used to be on axis II or axis III pervasive developmental disorders, learning and language disorders, or medical or neurological disorders. 

The mainstay of our outcome measures. A relatively brief structured interview designed to provide information about aspects of the person s life which may contribute to their drug problem. This was developed in the USA (McClellan et al. 1980) and has been widely used there. It covers medical status, education, employment, finance and support, drug and alcohol use, legal, family, social, and psychological history. We have also added information about syringe sharing. 

Structured interviews to elicit this information about patients most important behaviours are now being developed. 

The designer of a plant needs information about the availability of devices and unit operations. A market study executed by the Institut fur Mikrotechnik Mainz and YOLE Developpment [51] helps to make a first survey of commercially available devices. It also estimates future needs and objectives of the chemical industry and delivers a comparison between offered and required components (Figure 4.6). The providers of micro structured devices can deliver most of the components required by the chemical industry. On the other hand, there is a lack of separation devices but this is not fully transparent in Figure 4.6. Extraction devices are under represented and the important rectification units were not asked for by the interviewers, possibly because they hardly exist. 

In mid 1951 two young scientists joined the laboratory staff, Drs. T. B. Reed, a crystallographer, and D. W. Breck, an inorganic chemist. Reed had hoped to work with me on molecular sieves. In the applicant interview, I had challenged him to determine the detailed structures of the A and X zeolites from powder x-ray data, pore size and volume information, and ion exchange properties. He was assigned, however, to a different project in another group. 

One shared worry that came out in our interviews is that students do not understand the structure of scientific information enough and do not appreciate its breadth. Many students have a limited and sometimes selfish view of the communication function of scientific information. 

We finished our interview by discussing why he does computational chemistry. Computational chemistry excites me, Cramer says, because it lets you look at reality all along a pathway, yet can t be probed experimentally. I can look at a TS structure and I know that my experimental colleagues are going to have a hell of a time getting any information on it, except indirectly. Having a microscope the whole way—1 like that vision. ... 

The two most relevant international and national emissions-trading specialised websites have been visited (Point Carbon and Canalmedioambiental) and relevant documents on the NAP process collected. In addition, structured questionnaires were sent to the individual associations of all the covered sectors, most of which replied in written form. Personal interviews were undertaken with several energy and climate change experts. For reasons of confidentiality of the information requested by some of the interviewed sectors, their responses are integrated in a general manner in this paper, unless their opinion has been made public otherwise (e.g. publication in journals, press releases etc.).
