Abstract

Background/Objectives: The present study aimed to identify information from health research that used mixed-method data collection, considering the approach of face-to-face interviews and telephone interviews (MMFT), with a more specific focus on identifying its themes, objectives, designs, populations involved and implementation process. Methods: A scoping review was developed, with systematic searches applied in March 2024, in five databases (Pubmed; Scielo; Scopus and Web of Science), Google Scholar and reference lists. The inclusion criteria were based on the strategy "Participants" (observational epidemiological studies, with no restrictions as to where they were carried out, sampling technique or sample profile); "Concept” (use of MMFT in data collection) and “Context” (studies carried out in the health area, with no restrictions on the theme/subject). The review process was conducted by three researchers who worked independently. Results: from the initial 1,515 potential references, the synthesis of this review was composed of data from seven original studies, highlighting: cross-sectional design, involvement of adults and/or elderly people without specific health conditions, variability between data collection strategies and complementary use of online approaches. Conclusions: based on the evidence generated, it is recommended that future studies assess aspects of the MMFT approach in terms of response rate, cost reduction and increasing the speed with which health surveys are carried out.
