Assessing Sensitive Topics in Surveys--Morning session

10:00am-12:00pm

Researchers in social sciences often have to deal with sensitive topics. Randomized response techniques (RRT) can be used to reduce non-response and inaccurate responses.

We will cover the basic ideas of RRT methods for both binary and quantitative responses, and also discuss how RRT methods can be used to increase privacy.

Assessing Sensitive Topics in Surveys--Afternoon session

1:30pm-3:30pm

We will discuss practical implementation of RRT methods, including how to execute such techniques using Qualtrics. Attendees will be able to gain hands-on experience with designing online surveys using RRT.
