Sensitive Questions in Online Surveys: Experimental Results for the Randomized Response Technique (RRT) and the Unmatched Count Technique (UCT)
Gaining valid answers to so-called sensitive questions is an age-old problem in survey research. Various techniques have been developed to guarantee anonymity and minimize the respondent’s feelings of jeopardy. Two such techniques are the randomized response technique (RRT) and the unmatched count technique (UCT). In this study we evaluate the effectiveness of different implementations of the R...
متن کاملComparing the unmatched count technique and direct self-report for sensitive health-risk behaviors in HIV+ adults.
Researchers often rely on self-report measures to assess sensitive health-risk behaviors in HIV+ individuals, yet the accuracy of self-report has been questioned, particularly when inquiring about behaviors that may be embarrassing, risky, and/or taboo. We compared an anonymous reporting method - the unmatched count technique (UCT) - to direct self-report (DSR) in order to assess reporting diff...
متن کاملAssessing base rates of sexual behavior using the unmatched count technique
Estimating the prevalence of sexual behaviors is difficult because of self-report biases. This is particularly relevant in assessing high-risk sexual behaviors for the purpose of reducing the transmission and acquisition of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. The present study employed the unmatched count technique (UCT), which provides estimates of the prevalence of risky sexu...

For students, “how am I doing?” is the focus of socalled “formative” assessment, while “what’s my grade?” often seems to be the only goal of “summative” assessment. For faculty, “how’s it going?” is the hallmark of within-course asse...
