Answer to Question 1

With the randomized response technique, the respondent is presented with two questions, one sensitive, one not. A randomizing device, such as a coin toss, is used to decide which question the respondent answers. The interviewer does not know the answer to the non-sensitive question and does not get to see the result of the randomizing device.

For example, the sensitive question might be Have you had hemorrhoids in the past month? and the non-sensitive question might be Do you have the same birthday as your best friend? If the randomizing device has a probability of one half, the proportion of respondents whose answer would be Yes on the sensitive question can be calculated as equal to twice the incidence of respondents answering Yes overall minus the probability of answering Yes on the non-sensitive question (in this case, one twelfth).
