通过自我报告评估性行为对于各种健康主题的研究至关重要，包括怀孕和不孕不育、性传播感染以及性健康和性功能。最近的方法论研究为性行为自我报告的准确性提供了新的见解。我们回顾了这些研究，特别关注一个有前景的新发展：计算机辅助评估的使用。近年来，用计算机收集的性风险行为数据急剧增加，但人们对这种评估的准确性知之甚少。我们总结这些证据，讨论在评估自我报告准确性的研究中出现的方法学问题，并为未来的研究提供建议。
Assessing sexual behavior with self-report is essential to research on a variety of health topics, including pregnancy and infertility, sexually transmitted infections, and sexual health and functioning. Recent methodological research has provided new insights regarding the accuracy of self-reports of sexual behavior We review these studies, paying particular attention to a promising new development: the use of computer-assisted assessments. The collection of sexual risk behavior data with computers has increased dramatically in recent years, but little is known about the accuracy of such assessments. We summarize the evidence, discuss methodological issues that arise in studies evaluating the accuracy of self-reports, and offer recommendations for future research.
