按社会经济和人口特征报告健康状况的异质性可能会使健康差异的测量产生偏差。我们使用锚定小插曲来确定印度尼西亚、印度和中国健康报告中的社会人口差异。社会人口群体的同质性报告被拒绝，对报告异质性的纠正往往会减少教育（不是中国）在健康方面的估计差距，并增加收入方面的差距。但该方法并没有显示出在衡量健康差异方面存在实质性的报告偏差。版权所有(C) 2007约翰威利父子有限公司
Heterogeneity in reporting of health by socio-economic and demographic characteristics potentially biases the measurement of health disparities. We use anchoring vignettes to identify socio-demographic differences in the reporting of health in Indonesia, India and China. Homogeneous reporting by socio-demographic group is rejected and correcting for reporting heterogeneity tends to reduce slightly estimated disparities in health by education (not China) and to increase those by income. But the method does not reveal substantial reporting bias in measures of health disparities. Copyright (C) 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
