Abstract: Abstract The randomized response technique (RRT) is useful for reducing response error problems when potentially sensitive questions such as the illegal use of drugs, sexual practice, illegal earning, or incidence of acts of domestic violence are included in surveys of human populations. Direct questioning of respondents about sensitive issues often results in either refusal of falsification of the answers. Social stigma and fear of reprisals sometimes result in untruthful, exaggerated, or misleading responses by respondents when apporached with conventional survey methods. Warner (1965) was the first to suggest an ingenious mehtod of counteracting fears in response to sensitive questions.
