Note: American Psychological Association (APA) ethical guidelines indicate that interviewees have the right to refuse to answer any question posed to them by an interviewer. Please ensure that your interviewees are aware of this, and do not force them to answer when the opportunity to reply has been refused. Notate refusal to answer and move on with the interview.
