This addendum updates Fox and Tracy's (1980) summary of work on the randomized
response technique (RRT). It notes the recent development of an additive constants
model for sensitive questions that require a numerical response. It further calls the
reader's attention to the possibility of correlational research using RRT models by
presenting the derivation of the correlation and correction for attentuation between two
variables measured by the additive constants model and by noting a paper that does the
same for several other RRT models.
