The present study investigated the reliability of proxy reports obtained from family members with self-reports on adolescent and parental lifetime and current smoking status.
Data were assessed from 416 families, consisting of both biological parents and two adolescent siblings aged 13-17 years. These families were assessed at baseline and 1 year later. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated to test whether proxy reports corresponded with self-reports.
Mothers scored higher than fathers on most measures on lifetime and current smoking status of both children. The sensitivity was low for parental reports, but moderate to high for children's reports. Specificity and positive predictive value were high in all proxy reports. The negative predictive value was moderate (parents as proxy reporters) to low (children as proxy reporters) on lifetime smoking, but high on current smoking.
Adolescents, aged 13-17 years, can be used as a reliable source to assess the smoking status of their mothers and fathers. Parents, however, appeared to accurately identify the smoking status of their adolescent children less reliably.
本研究调查了从家庭成员处获得的代理报告与青少年及父母终生和当前吸烟状况的自我报告之间的可靠性。
对416个家庭的数据进行评估，这些家庭由亲生父母和两名年龄在13至17岁的青少年兄弟姐妹组成。这些家庭在基线时和1年后进行评估。计算敏感性、特异性、阳性预测值和阴性预测值，以检验代理报告是否与自我报告相符。
在关于两个孩子终生和当前吸烟状况的大多数指标上，母亲的得分高于父亲。父母报告的敏感性较低，但孩子报告的敏感性为中度到高度。所有代理报告的特异性和阳性预测值都很高。终生吸烟方面，阴性预测值为中度（父母作为代理报告者）到低度（孩子作为代理报告者），但当前吸烟方面的阴性预测值很高。
13至17岁的青少年可作为评估其父母吸烟状况的可靠来源。然而，父母似乎不太可靠地准确识别其青少年子女的吸烟状况。
