Understanding Symptom Recognition and Treatment Decision-making in Hispanic/Latino Lung Cancer Patients

Use semi-structured interview methods to gather narrative data from research participants, as more open-ended interviews allow participants to share information that is most relevant to their own experiences (Patton, 2002; Rubin \& Rubin, 2005; Kvale, 1996). Semi-structured interviewing can generate a rich understanding of a participant's life routines, experiences, and attitudes related to a topic of inquiry, and can yield a nuanced and thorough description of a research participant's life story and belief systems.
