Randomized Response and Indirect Questioning Techniques in Surveys

For surveys involving sensitive questions, randomized response techniques (RRTs) and other indirect questions are helpful in obtaining survey responses while maintaining the privacy of the respondents. Written by one of the leading experts in the world on RR, this work describes the current state of RR as well as emerging developments in the field. The author explains how to extend RR to situations employing unequal probability sampling and gives his viewpoint on alternative RR techniques, including the item count technique, nominative technique, and three-card method.
