The accuracy of a household health interview survey in measuring the prevalence of chronic illness was tested by comparing survey responses with the same respondents' medical records. Results indicate that the survey is far from a perfect discriminator of recorded medical status. The false-positive rate was 25 percent, and the rate of false negatives was nearly 40 percent. False positives were greater for Mexican-Americans and other nonwhites than for white respondents. The household health interview survey is nonetheless an important planning tool since it reflects respondents' perceived health levels, which may be used to predict utilization of primary medical services.
通过将家庭健康访谈调查的回答与相同受访者的病历进行比较，测试了该调查在测量慢性病患病率方面的准确性。结果表明，该调查远非记录医疗状况的完美鉴别工具。假阳性率为25%，假阴性率近40%。墨西哥裔美国人及其他非白人的假阳性率高于白人受访者。尽管如此，家庭健康访谈调查仍是一项重要的规划工具，因为它反映了受访者感知的健康水平，可用于预测初级医疗服务的利用率。
