Sensitive Topics and Multiple Languages

The Office for Survey Research (OSR) has conducted many projects addressing sensitive topics, including general health, mental health, cancer and other illnesses, as well as community safety and residents’ interaction with police. All interviewers calling these studies learn how to administer these sensitive questions so respondents are comfortable answering items that are for many respondents difficult to answer.
