Synopsis

Randomized Response is an approach to survey data collection specifically designed for sensitive inquiries. The logic underlying this approach is that the element of chance sufficiently clouds a response so as to protect the respondent when disclosing personal or sensitive data. This book is the first comprehensive introduction and practical guide to randomized response for researchers wishing to use this technique.
