在一项对患有严重精神疾病的无家可归男子的研究中，对与艾滋病毒传播有关的性行为的自我报告的可靠性进行了检查。纽约市收容所精神病项目的39名患者接受了关于他们在过去六个月内的性行为的采访。同一次面谈进行了两次，两次面谈之间间隔一至两周。使用kappa和组内相关系数评估重测信度。总体性活动、伴侣数量和除接受性肛交之外的特定行为的可靠性估计值从0.49到0.93不等。安全套使用的可靠性较低。作者得出结论，可以从患有严重精神疾病的无家可归者那里获得关于性行为的可靠自我报告。
The reliability of self-reports of sexual behaviors related to HIV transmission was examined in a study of homeless men with severe mental illness. Thirty-nine patients of a New York City shelter psychiatric program were interviewed about their sexual behaviors in the past six months. The same interview was administered twice, with a one- to two-week interval between interviews. Test-retest reliability was assessed using kappa and intraclass correlation coefficients. Reliability estimates ranged from .49 to .93 for overall sexual activity, number of partners, and specific behaviors other than receptive anal sex. Reliability was lower for condom use. The authors conclude that reliable self-reports about sexual behavior can be obtained from homeless men with severe mental illness.
