OBJECTIVE
This study sought to determine the accuracy of self-report of mammography experience among 392 ethnically diverse women aged 50 to 74.
METHODS
Subjects were randomized to the telephone or mail condition and surveyed.
RESULTS
Thirty-one percent of women reported accurately the exact month and year of their most recent mammogram; 54% reported accurately within +/- 3 months, and 83% reported accurately within the year. Greater accuracy was associated with exam recency, White race, and non-Hispanic ethnicity, but not with age, education, or income. Most women could correctly report the reason for, the findings of, and the payor of their mammograms but knew little about how much they or their insurance paid.
CONCLUSIONS
For population surveillance of mammography in the past year, self-report data are generally valid. However, clinical studies requiring more precise dates must use such data with caution. The telephone method, as compared with mail, appears to be a better option for some variables.
目的
本研究旨在确定392名年龄在50至74岁之间、种族各异的女性自我报告的乳房X光检查经历的准确性。
方法
将受试者随机分为电话调查组或邮寄调查组并进行调查。
结果
31%的女性准确报告了她们最近一次乳房X光检查的确切月份和年份；54%的女性在正负3个月内准确报告，83%的女性在一年内准确报告。更高的准确性与检查的近期性、白人种族和非西班牙裔种族相关，但与年龄、教育程度或收入无关。大多数女性能够正确报告她们乳房X光检查的原因、结果和付款人，但对自己或其保险支付的费用知之甚少。
结论
对于过去一年乳房X光检查的人群监测，自我报告数据通常是有效的。然而，需要更精确日期的临床研究必须谨慎使用此类数据。与邮寄方式相比，电话调查方法对于某些变量似乎是更好的选择。
