Randomized response

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Randomized response is a research method used in structured survey interview. It was firstly proposed by S.L. Warner in 1965¹, and later modified by B. G. Greenberg in 1969². It allows respondents to respond to sensitive issues (such as criminal behavior or sexuality) while remaining confidentiality.
