自1990年以来，疾病控制和预防中心的青年危险行为调查（YRBS）每两年一次，用于衡量全国高中生的健康危险行为。YRBS测量与有意和无意伤害、烟草使用、酒精和其他药物使用、性活动、饮食和身体活动有关的行为。作者介绍了YRBS的重测信度研究的结果，通过对1,679名7至12年级的学生进行YRBS问卷调查，两次间隔14天。作者计算了53个自我报告项目中每个项目的kappa统计量，并比较了两个测试场合的组患病率估计值。Kappas的范围为14.5%至91.1%; 71.7%的项目被评为具有“实质性”或更高的可靠性（Kappa = 61-100%）。在时间1和时间2的患病率估计值之间没有发现显著差异。七年级学生的反应不如高年级学生一致，表明YRBS最适合八年级及以上的学生。除了一些可疑的项目，学生似乎可靠地报告个人健康风险行为随着时间的推移。本文还讨论了健康行为评价的信度和效度问题。
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) has been used on a biennial basis since 1990 to measure health risk behaviors of high school students nationwide. The YRBS measures behaviors related to intentional and unintentional injury, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual activity, diet, and physical activity. The authors present the results from a test-retest reliability study of the YRBS, conducted by administering the YRBS questionnaire to 1,679 students in grades 7 through 12 on two occasions 14 days apart. The authors computed a kappa statistic for each of 53 self-report items and compared group prevalence estimates across the two testing occasions. Kappas ranged from 14.5% to 91.1%; 71.7% of the items were rated as having ''substantial'' or higher reliability (kappa = 61-100%). No significant differences were found between the prevalence estimates at time 1 and time 2. Responses of seventh grade students were less consistent than those of students in higher grades, indicating that the YRBS is best suited for students in grade 8 and above. Except for a few suspect items, students appeared to report personal health risk behaviors reliably over time. Reliability and validity issues in health behavior assessment also are discussed.
