关于吸烟行为的自我报告会受到不同类型的反应偏差的影响，这可能会严重影响数据质量。本研究探讨了前吸烟者中关于完全戒烟时间的报告中向后伸缩偏倚的证据和程度。研究目的是确定平均而言，具有不同社会人口学特征、既往吸烟习惯和戒烟持续时间的亚群之间以及调查管理模式（电话、面对面、混合）之间的偏倚程度是否存在差异。样本包括1，611名对2002-2003年烟草使用补充当前人口调查作出答复的受试者。拟合了最近、一段时间前和很久以前戒烟的受试者的多元回归，其中通过平衡重复重复重复方法估计方差。基于模型的估计用于比较不同受访者亚群的回答偏差程度。分析显示，年龄较小的受访者的总体反应偏差程度显着较小（p < 0.01），女性（p < 0.01），非西班牙裔白色人（p = 0.02），就业（p < 0.01），规律性（而不是偶尔）吸烟者在过去（p < 0.01），近期或近期戒烟者与长期戒烟者比较，差异有统计学意义（p < 0.01），调查方式的总体效果也有统计学意义（p < 0.01）。过去偶尔吸烟的男性受访者往往提供最不同意的报告。报告中的差异可能是由于向后伸缩偏倚。使用国家调查戒烟措施的研究不仅应了解可能的前向伸缩（已在文献中讨论），还应了解后向伸缩。这将有助于正确解释前吸烟者对戒烟后时间的感知可能受损。
Self-reports concerning smoking behaviors are subject to different types of response bias that may severely affect the data quality. This study examined the evidence and extent of backward telescoping bias in reports on time since completely quitting smoking among former smokers. The study goals were to determine whether the extent of bias differs, on average, across subpopulations with diverse sociodemographic characteristics, prior smoking habits and duration of smoking abstinence, and across the survey administration mode (phone, in-person, mixed). The sample included 1,611 subjects who responded to the 2002–2003 Tobacco Use Supplement to the Current Population Survey. Multiple regressions for subjects who quit smoking recently, some time ago, and a long time ago were fitted, where the variance was estimated via the Balanced Repeated Replications approach. The model-based estimates were used to compare the extent of response bias across diverse subpopulations of respondents. Analyses revealed a significantly smaller overall extent of response bias for respondents who were younger (p < 0.01), female (p < 0.01), Non-Hispanic White (p = 0.02), employed (p < 0.01), who were regular (rather than occasional) smokers in the past (p < 0.01), and who quit smoking recently or some time ago as opposed to a long time ago (p < 0.01); a significant overall effect of survey mode was also detected (p < 0.01). Male respondents who smoked occasionally in the past tended to provide the most disagreeing reports. The discrepancy in reports may be due to backward telescoping bias. Studies which use the national survey smoking cessation measures should be aware of not only possible forward telescoping (that has been addressed in the literature) but also backward telescoping. This will help correctly account for possible impaired perception of time elapsed since smoking cessation in former smokers.
