Reasons for Including Closing Questions

Category Representative quote
Data “Provide participants a final opportunity to share anything related to the research that they have not done so already”
The interview “I always include closing questions to wrap up the interview”
The interviewee “A closing question like ‘is there anything else you’d like to tell me that you think might be useful?’ honors that we are not the expert on the topic, that they are”
The interviewer “To make sure I have obtained what I need for the study”
