准确的报告在健康研究中很重要，但在调查中，堕胎被低估了近一半。这项研究审查了对青少年堕胎报告的影响。参与者是63名来自不同种族背景的年轻妇女，她们在城市堕胎诊所接受了堕胎。参与者报告说，他们愿意在各种研究环境中诚实地谈论自己的堕胎情况，并与其他敏感话题进行比较。报告的意愿也进行了检查，研究的赞助商，管理模式，和采访者的特点。与吸烟等行为相比，青少年报告堕胎的意愿较低，但与家庭收入、口交或肛交相比，他们更愿意报告堕胎。跨研究设置的报告意愿的比较表明，面对面的采访似乎比电话调查产生更准确的报告。这些研究结果的其他健康行为的研究的影响进行了讨论。（PsycINFO数据库记录（c）2016阿帕，保留所有权利）
Accurate reports are important in health research, yet abortions are underreported in surveys by almost half. This study examined influences on reporting of abortion among adolescents. Participants were 63 young women from varied ethnic backgrounds who had undergone abortions at urban abortion clinics. Participants reported on their willingness to be honest about their abortion in various research settings and in comparison with other sensitive topics. Willingness to report was also examined in relation to the sponsor of the research, the mode of administration, and the characteristics of the interviewer. Adolescents indicated less willingness to report abortion than some behaviors such as cigarette smoking, but they were more willing to report abortion than family income, oral sex, or anal sex. Comparison of willingness to report across research settings indicated that face-to-face interviews appear to generate more accurate reporting than telephone surveys. The implications of these findings for the study of other health behaviors are discussed.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
