Questions used in the interviewing process

Contextual questions (common to Boston and Seattle Interviews)			Contextual questions were not specific to original research objectives at either site. Unexpected findings concerning community agencies emerged in response to these questions.*
1.	Please tell me about your family (or your child).
2.	What kinds of things do you like to do with your family when you're together? What kinds of things do you talk about? I'm curious to learn more about [name of a specific person in the family].
3.	You've described certain people in your family. How would you describe yourself?
4.	Could you walk me through a typical day for you?
5.	I've asked you some personal questions. How does that make you feel?
	Seattle	Boston Specific to community agencies	In the Boston cohort, questions regarding community agencies were formulated in an iterative fashion to clarify emerging themes.
		Tell me about some of your experiences with [community agency].
		Tell me about some of the relationships that you've had with [community agency] people.
	Questions specific to early learning	Questions specific to adversity and stress

^*In the majority of interviews, responses to contextual questions touched upon original research objectives. Our interviewing technique was to pursue those objectives with simple prompts, such as “tell me more about that,” or “that's interesting to me.” Once unexpected themes regarding community agencies began to emerge, we applied the simple prompts to these emerging themes as well.
