Aims To investigate the reliability and validity of retrospectively reported information on smoking.Design国家代表性的回顾性数据从纵向调查和同期数据重复横断面调查。参加者成年人的受访者三个国家纵向调查原始队列1966-68年的四个样本;全国青年纵向调查19 - 79;和各种波的美国国家健康访谈Survey.Measurements可靠性进行了调查，通过计算卡帕统计重复测量吸烟和年度吸烟状态。有效性进行了调查，通过比较吸烟流行率产生的回顾性数据与contemporaneousmeasured rates.Findings Kappa统计表明，不断吸烟状态的重复测量显示实质性协议，重复测量的年度吸烟状态显示中度协议。吸烟行为的回顾性报告产生的患病率相匹配的合理以及从同期的报告吸烟behavior.Conclusions吸烟的回顾性数据可以是烟草成瘾研究的重要资源。
Aims To investigate the reliability and validity of retrospectively reported information on smoking.Design Nationally representative retrospective data from longitudinal surveys and contemporaneous data from repeated cross-sectional surveys were used. Participants Adult respondents to three of the four samples of the National Longitudinal Surveys Original Cohort 1966-68; the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 19 79; and various waves of the US National Health Interview Survey.Measurements Reliability was investigated by calculating kappa statistics for repeated measures of ever-smoking and annual-smoking status. Validity was investigated by comparing smoking prevalence rates generated by retrospective data with contemporaneously measured rates.Findings Kappa statistics indicated the repeated measures of ever-smoking status show substantial agreement; repeated measures of annual-smoking status show moderate agreement. Retrospective reports on smoking behavior produced prevalence rates that match reasonably well with those from contemporaneous reports of smoking behavior.Conclusions Retrospective data on smoking can be an important resource for tobacco addiction research.
