Bias resulting from under-reporting has been largely ignored by studies that have examined the relationships between psychosocial factors and unintentional childhood injuries. This study was part of a larger investigation that examined associations between psychosocial factors and unintentional childhood injuries in a sample of 781 children. Visits to an accident and emergency department and their general practitioners were used to determine whether the children or their mothers were under-reporters. "Under-reporters" were compared with "reporters" on a variety of family, behavioural, and development factors. The analyses showed that under-reporters did not differ significantly from the remainder of the sample in terms of psychosocial factors central to the main study.
在研究心理社会因素与儿童意外伤害之间的关系时，漏报所导致的偏差在很大程度上被忽视了。本研究是一项更大规模调查的一部分，该调查在781名儿童样本中研究心理社会因素与儿童意外伤害之间的关联。通过访问事故与急诊科室以及他们的全科医生来确定儿童或其母亲是否为漏报者。在各种家庭、行为和发育因素方面，对“漏报者”与“报告者”进行了比较。分析表明，在主要研究的核心心理社会因素方面，漏报者与样本中的其他人员没有显著差异。
