The randomized response technique (RRT) is an effective method designed to obtain the stigmatized information from respondents while assuring the privacy. In this study, we propose a new two-stage RRT model to estimate the prevalence of sensitive attribute (). A simulation study shows that the empirical mean and variance of proposed estimator are close to corresponding theoretical values. The utility of proposed two-stage RRT model under stratification is also explored. An efficiency comparison between proposed two-stage RRT model and some existing RRT models is carried out numerically under simple and stratified random sampling.
