一个重测设计已被用来检查个人访谈中报告的被动吸烟史的可靠性。1983年至1984年，在加拿大大都市多伦多进行的一项肺癌病例对照研究中，共有117名对照受试者接受了最初的采访，平均6个月后再次接受采访。回答用于检测一个人的被动吸烟暴露的初步筛选问题是更可靠的住宅比职业暴露。受访者也更可靠地报告住宅暴露于配偶的被动吸烟比被动吸烟的其他人在家里。被动吸烟暴露的定量测量，即，暴露的数量和持续时间，甚至更不可靠的报告。不吸烟的受访者提供了最可靠的信息。自我报告的暴露于被动吸烟的持续时间的低可靠性与几项研究无法检测到一个显着的剂量反应关系与肺癌的风险时，剂量的措施，只依赖于持续时间是一致的。
A test-retest design has been used to examine the reliability of passive smoking histories reported in personal interviews. A total of 117 control subjects initially interviewed in a lung cancer case-control study conducted in metropolitan Toronto, Canada, between 1983 and 1984 were reinterviewed on average six months later. Responses to initial screening questions used to detect a person's exposure to passive smoke were more reliable for residential than for occupational exposure. Respondents also more reliably reported residential exposure to spouse's passive smoke than to the passive smoke of others at home. Quantitative measures of exposure to passive smoke, i.e., number and duration of exposure, were even less reliably reported. Nonsmoking respondents gave the most reliable information. The low reliability of self-reported duration of exposure to passive smoke is consistent with the inability of several studies to detect a significant dose-response relation with lung cancer risk when measures of dose that depend solely on duration are used.
