Meta-analysis of Randomized Response Research: 35 Years of Validation

2000

The Randomized,Response Technique (RRT) is a survey method,especially developed to improve the accuracy of answers to questions on threatening topics. This paper reports the results of two meta-analyses on RRT studies, the first on the results of six individual validation studies, and the second on 31 comparative studies. The focus of these meta- analyses was on the performance,of RRTs

Asking Sensitive Questions Using the Randomized Response Approach in Public Health Research: An Empirical Study on the Factors of Illegal Waste Disposal

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2019

A survey study is a research method commonly used to quantify population characteristics in biostatistics and public health research, two fields that often involve sensitive questions. However, if answering sensitive questions could cause social undesirability, respondents may not provide honest responses to questions that are asked directly. To mitigate the response distortion arising from dishonest answers to sensitive questions, the randomized response technique (RRT) is a useful and effective statistical method. However, research has seldom addressed how to apply the RRT in public health research using an online survey with multiple sensitive questions. Thus, we help fill this research gap by employing an innovative unrelated question design method. To illustrate how the RRT can be implemented in a multivariate analysis setting, we conducted a survey study to examine the factors affecting the intention of illegal waste disposal. This study demonstrates an application of the RRT ...
