Informant interviews are methods of directly collecting data. County health department nurses and church officials are often good key informants. Key informants need not hold any formal title, but are generally viewed as community leaders by other community members and often have a long history in the community. The state department of health, surrounding communities, and CDC do not meet the definition of an informant.
