The validity of reported drug use: the randomized response technique

M S Goodstadt et al. Int J Addict. 1978 Apr.

Abstract

A working outline is provided of the "randomized response model" which offers an alternative indirect procedure for obtaining estimates of drug use. Evidence obtained from an experimental study demonstrated significant underreporting of drug use when estimates were obtained by standard direct methods of inquiry when compared to those obtained by randomized response technique.
