Semi-Structured Interview
30-minute qualitative interview for perspectives on the barriers and facilitators to program engagement and suggestions for improvement, benefits of yoga intervention, and specific questions about format, usability, and burden of the intervention and current and future assessments. Key domains corresponding to the research goals will be developed based on the interview guide. All responses within each domain will be summarized to identify key findings which will be used to inform adaptation of the intervention.
