The last 4 years Lackawanna County OFR team has conducted case reviews in which next-of-kin (NOK) interviews were completed. Conducting an NOK interview is a significant and often underestimated task, especially for the participant. These interviews are valuable tools for OFRs to gain deeper insights into the decedents’ lives, identify nontraditional touchpoints or systems that may not be represented by the OFRs, and provide essential grief support to loss survivors. To better understand the demands and impact of these interviews on participants, Lackawanna County contracted with the University of Pittsburgh’s Program Evaluation and Research Unit (PERU) for assistance. PERU was tasked with gathering feedback from participants who completed an NOK interview, analyzing that data, and authoring a comprehensive report on the outcomes.
