I don’t know my child’s asthma risk: evidence against satisficing as an explanation for ‘don’t know’ responses Open
Several studies suggest that "don't know" (DK) responses to risk perception items may represent meaningful expressions of uncertainty about disease risk. However, researchers are often discouraged from including a DK response option in sur…
