采用时间线追踪（TLFB）访谈来收集 2009 年至 2011 年间在密歇根州弗林特市急诊科就诊的 598 名青少年的日常药物使用和暴力行为的回顾性数据。采用具有灵活平滑时间函数的广义线性混合模型来将风险行为的变化描述为回忆期长度的函数。我们的结果表明，1 周的回忆期可能更有效地捕获非典型或可变的风险行为模式，而超过 2 周的回忆期可能会导致对典型模式的更稳定的估计。
The timeline follow-back (TLFB) interview was adopted to collect retrospective data on daily substance use and violence from 598 youth seeking care in an urban Emergency Department in Flint, Michigan during 2009-2011. Generalized linear mixed models with flexible smooth functions of time were employed to characterize the change in risk behaviors as a function of the length of recall period. Our results suggest that the 1-week recall period may be more effective for capturing atypical or variable patterns of risk behaviors, whereas a recall period longer than 2 weeks may result in a more stable estimation of a typical pattern.
