Abstract
TOPIC: E-mail interviewing-not to be confused with "online surveying"-shows promise for researchers working with adolescent mental health populations as a data collection method. PURPOSE: To explore potential advantages, constraints, and applications of e-mail interviewing as a research method for staff working with adolescent mental health populations. CONCLUSIONS: At face value, there appear to be several advantages to e-mail interviewing with young populations and further exploration of this method is warranted.
