鼓励青少年在半结构化的研究访谈中进行对话充满了困难。作者讨论了方法上遇到的挑战时，采访的欧洲裔加拿大人，非裔加拿大人和旁遮普省的加拿大家庭谁参加了在加拿大的两个地区的家庭食品决策研究青少年。研究人员对家庭成员如何做出食物选择的决定感兴趣。共有来自36个家庭的47名青少年同意接受采访。作者发现招募青少年、寻找安静的面试空间、录音机的静音效果以及询问抽象概念都限制了青少年的对话能力。虽然每个采访者都遇到了许多相同的挑战，但其中一些挑战在不同的民族文化群体中表现得不同。这篇文章穿插了四位采访者对青少年采访的反思和采访中的数据，讨论了他们遇到的挑战。
Encouraging a teenager to have a conversation in a semistructured research interview is fraught with difficulties. The authors discuss the methodological challenges encountered when interviewing adolescents of European Canadian, African Canadian, and Punjabi Canadian families who took part in the Family Food Decision-Making Study in two regions of Canada. The researchers were interested in how family members made decisions about food choices. In all, 47 adolescents from 36 families agreed to an interview. The authors found recruitment of teens, locating a quiet space for interviews, the silencing effects of the tape recorder, and asking about abstract concepts to be constraints on adolescents' conversational abilities. Although each interviewer encountered many of the same challenges, some of those challenges played out differently in different ethnocultural groups. This article intersperses discussion about the challenges encountered with the four interviewers' reflections on their interviews with teens and with data from the interviews.
