Recreational Athletes’ Use of Performance-Enhancing Substances: Results from the First European Randomized Response Technique Survey [PDF]
Sports Medicine - Open, 2023 Background and Aim Measuring the prevalence of doping in recreational sport is difficult. However, to fit their initiatives, National Anti-Doping Organizations are interested in knowing the numbers, so their scarce resources are not wasted.

An efficient estimator of population variance of a sensitive variable with a new randomized response technique [PDF]
HeliyonIn sampling theory, a majority of the available estimators of population variance are designed for use with non-sensitive variables only. Such estimators cannot perform efficiently when the variable of interest is of sensitive nature, such as use of ...

More is not always better: An experimental individual-level validation of the randomized response technique and the crosswise model. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Social desirability and the fear of sanctions can deter survey respondents from responding truthfully to sensitive questions. Self-reports on norm breaking behavior such as shoplifting, non-voting, or tax evasion may thus be subject to considerable ...

Synthesized randomized response techniques
Scientific African, 2023 Reducing response bias in survey research is important in ensuring that the data collected accurately represents the population of interest. This study proposes the synthesized random response technique (SRRT) estimator as an efficient method to reduce ...
