The interviews were semi-structured, which means that all questions do not necessarily have to be posed/answered. The researcher is responsible of “moderating” the interview, and the interviewee is welcome to talk about what he or she considers most relevant. Interview guides with a few questions were developed to operationalise the main questions and assumptions, and to give interviewees an overview of the questions that were going to be posed.
