One method used to determine utilization rates of cervical screening is women's self-report. Few studies have assessed the accuracy of this measure--none has been conducted in Australia--although there are a number of reasons for suspecting its validity. This study examined and quantified the accuracy of self-report of Pap smear use among a randomly selected sample of women from an Australian community. Accuracy of Pap smear utilization self-report within a three-year period was assessed by comparison with pathology records. Results indicated that almost half of the women who have not had Pap smears within three years will be missed by a self-report measure of utilization. Some implications for the measurement and use of self-report data are discussed.
一种用于确定宫颈筛查利用率的方法是女性自我报告。很少有研究评估过这种测量方法的准确性——澳大利亚尚未开展过此类研究——尽管有许多理由怀疑其有效性。本研究对来自澳大利亚一个社区的随机抽取的女性样本中巴氏涂片检查使用情况自我报告的准确性进行了检测和量化。通过与病理记录进行比较，评估了三年内巴氏涂片检查利用率自我报告的准确性。结果表明，三年内未进行巴氏涂片检查的女性中，几乎有一半会被自我报告的利用率测量方法遗漏。本文讨论了自我报告数据的测量和使用方面的一些影响。
