A review of the literature and a report of an empirical inquiry both suggest that retrospective inquiry, based on addicts' self-reports, are, in very many cases, valid and reliable. The paper suggests that the relevant problem connected with addicts' self-reports is not whether they are to be trusted or not, but rather what types of questions and situations best lend themselves to be researched when using retrospective techniques.
一项文献综述和一份实证调查的报告均表明，基于吸毒者自我报告的回顾性调查在很多情况下都是有效且可靠的。该论文指出，与吸毒者自我报告相关的问题并非它们是否可信，而是在使用回顾性技术时，何种类型的问题和情况最适合进行研究。
