Hi Abigail I have just written a review of online interviewing as part of my PhD write-up, focusing on qualitative synchronous interviewing (with instant message programs). Email me and I can provide you with it if that's helpful. I do intend to publish it formally once I've made more progress with the rest of the writing. I notice you are with NCHSR. My project involved using online interviewing with drug users who also used internet forums to discuss drugs. I found no other studies where drug using populations were interviewed via IM. If you are looking to use this method with a drug-using sample, perhaps we should chat further. PS. it ended up being very successful with this group but I guess it would all depend on the sample and how comfortable they were with the technology (this also applies to the interviewer who needs to be very familiar with it too!)

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could suggest some references about interviewing online, particularly in the context of social research? Thanks, Abi
