10. Snowballing involves asking respondents for an introduction to other potential respondents who fit the relevant criteria and may be willing to take part in the study - with the anticipated result that the original sample will "snowball" into a larger one. This technique is regularly used for hard-to-reach populations.
11. A topic guide is a document that outlines the topics that should be covered in an interview. It often gives examples of the types of questions that might be asked, however, the precise wording used will vary as a result of the interviewer's exchange with the respondent.
