Multi-Mode Face-to-Face and Telephone Approach to Data Collection in Health Surveys: A Scoping Review.

: The present study aims to identify information from health research studies that have used a mixed-methods data collection approach, considering the combination of face-to-face and telephone interviews (referred to as the MMFT approach), specifically focusing on identifying themes, objectives, designs, populations involved, and implementation processes. : A scoping review was developed, with systematic searches performed in March 2024 across five databases, namely, PubMed; SciELO; Scopus; Web of Science; as well as Google Scholar and reference lists. The inclusion criteria were defined under the following categories: "Participants" (observational epidemiological studies, with no restrictions as to where they were carried out, sampling techniques, or sample profiles); "Concept" (use of MMFT in data collection), and "Context" (studies carried out in the health area, with no restrictions on the theme/subject).
