Why Individual Interviews? : Conducting individual interviews is considered the most appropriate approach when dealing with sensitive topics. This method allows participants to speak freely and confidentially about their experiences without the pressure or influence of others, which can occur in group settings.

Setting and Environment : The one-on-one setting of individual interviews helps create a safe environment where participants can feel more comfortable and less judged, encouraging more honest and open communication.

Control and Flexibility : Interviewers have more control over the session in individual interviews, allowing them to probe deeper into certain areas and adjust questions based on the participant's responses, which is essential for exploring sensitive issues.
