本研究的目的有两个方面。第一个是进一步研究大学样本中头痛的患病率。第二个是评估患病率问卷测量的测试/再测试信度及其并发效度（通过将收集到的信息与系统的每日头痛日记记录收集的类似测量结果进行比较）。研究发现，头痛是一种普遍现象，每周至少影响45%的学生一次，35-45%的学生头痛严重到足以扰乱计划的活动。女性经历的头痛往往更频繁，更强烈，持续时间更长。尽管对头痛的部位和性质的回答各不相同，但在1周、4周和8周内，个别问卷项目总体上证明了较高的测试/再测试信度。然而，问卷估计的频率、持续时间和强度与日记记录的数据几乎没有对应关系。一般来说，与头痛活动的实际记录相比，问卷测量似乎低估了频率和持续时间，而高估了强度。因此，当单独使用时，全球头痛问卷测量似乎不能提供有关问题发生的准确信息。
The purpose of the present study was two‐fold. The first was to examine further the prevalence of headache in a college sample. The second was to evaluate the test/re‐test reliability of the questionnaire measure of prevalence and its concurrent validity (by comparing information collected on it to like measures collected by systematic, daily headache diary records). Headache was found to be a widespread phenomenon that was affecting at least 45% of all students once per week, and 35–45% of the students experienced headache severe enough to disrupt planned activities. Headaches experienced by females tended to be more frequent, more intense, and of longer duration. Individual questionnaire items overall evidenced high test/re‐test reliability over 1, 4, and 8 weeks, although responses to inquiries about location and nature of headache pain were varied. However, questionnaire estimates of frequency, duration, and intensity showed little correspondence to data obtained from diary records. In general, questionnaire measures appear to underestimate frequency and duration, while overestimating intensity, when compared to actual recordings of headache activity. Thus, when used in isolation, global questionnaire measures of headache do not appear to provide accurate information about the occurrence of the problem.
