Randomized response is a data collection strategy specifically designed for surveys of a sensitive nature. By establishing a probabilistic connection between question and answer, randomized response and related methods protect respondents who are asked to disclose personal information. Covering a half century of theoretical and applied research, the
Second Edition significantly updates and expands what was, at the time, the first comprehensive and practical guide to randomized response.
