While most studies of AIDS risk behavior rely on self-reports, few studies have assessed the reliability of these reports. The present study examines self-reports of drug-related and sexual risk behavior among pairs of injecting drug users (IDUs) recruited from the streets in New York City. Since both members of the pair were interviewed, it was possible to compare their responses in order to assess reliability. Subjects reported on their contacts' demographic data (age, gender, race/ethnicity) and on shared risk behaviors, including syringe sharing. Despite the private and/or illegal nature of AIDS risk behaviors, IDU subjects were generally reliable in their reports of both demographic and AIDS risk behaviors.
虽然大多数关于艾滋病风险行为的研究依赖自我报告，但很少有研究评估这些报告的可靠性。本研究调查了从纽约市街头招募的注射吸毒者（IDU）对中与毒品相关和性风险行为的自我报告。由于对组内的两名成员都进行了访谈，因此可以比较他们的回答以评估可靠性。受试者报告了其同伴的人口统计学数据（年龄、性别、种族/族裔）以及共同的风险行为，包括共用注射器。尽管艾滋病风险行为具有私密性和/或非法性，但注射吸毒者受试者在报告人口统计学和艾滋病风险行为方面总体上是可靠的。
