Script

Good morning (afternoon),

Welcome and thank you for your participation today. As you know, I am Natasha Davis a doctoral candidate at the University of Kentucky and I am the primary researcher for this study. You have recently completed surveys and two days of online conflict management strategies workshops. This follow-up interview will take about 30 minutes and will include 8 questions regarding your experience in workshop participation and the information you received during the workshops. Please know there are no right or wrong or desirable or undesirable answers. I would like you to feel comfortable with saying what you really think and how you really feel.

Before we begin, I would like to review the consent form that was emailed to you prior to the interview. This is to ensure you are fully aware of the nature of your participation and to answer any questions you may have. After reviewing the form, I will need to obtain your verbal consent in order to conduct and record this interview before we proceed.

Since this is a virtual interview, it will be automatically recorded to accurately document the information you provide. If at any time during the interview you wish to discontinue, please feel free to let me know. All of your responses are confidential. The transcript I will compile of this interview for data collection purposes only, will not contain any of your identifiable information.

Your participation in this interview is completely voluntary. If you need to stop or take a break, please let me know. You may also withdraw your participation at any time without

consequence. Do you have any questions or concerns before we begin? Do you consent to beginning the interview and audio and video recording the interview?

1. 
   Are you better prepared to manage conflict now after attending the workshop? Why or why not?
   
2. 
   Was the workshop beneficial? If so, in what ways. If not, why not?
   
3. 
   Do you intend to apply any of the conflict management strategies obtained from the workshop? If so, which one(s). If not, why not?
   
4. 
   What, if any, changes would you make to the content or delivery of the workshop to make it more impactful for participants?
   
5. 
   Do you think a conflict management strategies workshop is beneficial as a training tool for faculty on our campus?
   

This completes our time for the interview. Are there any additional comments or feedback you would like to add at this time? Your time and participation in this interview and the workshops/surveys has been greatly appreciated.
