研究人员经常利用自我报告和生化评估的主动吸烟状态之间的差异来论证自我报告的吸烟状态是不可靠的，忽略了生化评估措施的局限性，并将其视为比较的金标准。在这里，我们采用计量经济学技术来比较自我报告和生化评估当前烟草使用的准确性，同时考虑到两种方法的测量误差。我们的方法允许估计和比较每个措施的灵敏度和特异性，而不直接观察真实的吸烟状况。结果，强大的几个替代规格，表明没有明确的理由认为，一个措施占主导地位的其他准确性。
Researchers often use the discrepancy between self-reported and biochemically assessed active smoking status to argue that self-reported smoking status is not reliable, ignoring the limitations of biochemically assessed measures and treating it as the gold standard in their comparisons. Here, we employ econometric techniques to compare the accuracy of self-reported and biochemically assessed current tobacco use, taking into account measurement errors with both methods. Our approach allows estimating and comparing the sensitivity and specificity of each measure without directly observing true smoking status. The results, robust to several alternative specifications, suggest that there is no clear reason to think that one measure dominates the other in accuracy.
