Determinants of Help-Seeking Behaviours Among Refugees with Depression

The research tools included a structured questionnaire for getting data from the primary respondents and a semi-structured interview guide for obtaining additional information from key informants. Data from primary respondents (persons with depression) was collected by survey method using researcher-administered questionnaire, whereby the researcher or assistant was asking the questions and then recording the responses on the questionnaire. Interviews were conducted in English where the respondent was comfortable with being interviewed in English language. Where it was necessary, the interviews were conducted with the help of an interpreter. Each interview lasted about 20-30 minutes. Data from key informants was collected through an interview using a key informant interview guide.

本研究采用两类调研工具：其一为面向核心受访者的结构化问卷，用于采集基础数据；其二为面向关键信息提供者的半结构化访谈提纲，用于补充采集额外信息。针对核心受访者（抑郁症患者）的数据，通过研究者主导发放的问卷以调研方式采集：由研究者或研究助理现场提问，并将受访者的作答内容记录于问卷之中。若受访者可适应英语访谈，则访谈以英语开展；必要时，将借助口译人员协助完成访谈。单次访谈时长约为20至30分钟。针对关键信息提供者的数据，则通过遵循关键信息提供者访谈提纲的访谈流程进行采集。
