Have you ever filled out a form and come upon a question asking for the amount of your annual household income? How did you respond to this question? If you have never encountered this question, consider how you might respond to such a personal inquiry.

For this Discussion, think about sensitive information you might need to gather through a survey. Consider how you would develop survey questions appropriate for eliciting responses from potentially reluctant participants. Think about which data collection methods might be most successful in collecting valid data.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a description of a research topic that would involve gathering sensitive information. Construct three survey questions that you might use to gather this sensitive information. Identify the study population you have chosen, and explain your rationale for how the survey questions are constructed. Explain potential challenges to accurate and reliable data collection of sensitive information from this population, including the strengths and limitations of different data collection methods (e.g., telephone interviews or web-based surveys).
