Factors associated with the accurate self-report of cancer screening behaviors among women living in the rural Midwest region of the United States
2022, Preventive Medicine ReportsCitation Excerpt :This finding may be a result of breast cancer advocacy and suggests that behavioral interventions targeted at multiple levels (individual, healthcare providers, system, and society) are needed to increase cancer screening of all anatomic sites among rural women (Meissner et al., 2004; Braun, 2003). Since there is a known discordance between self-report and medical record documentation for cancer screening tests (Ferrante et al., 2008; Howard et al., 2009; McPhee et al., 2002; Caplan et al., 2003; Shokar et al., 2011; Champion et al., 1998; Katz et al., 2015; Reiter et al., 2013; Rauscher et al., 2008; Daly et al., 2010; White et al., 2013; Griffin et al., 2009; Dodou and de Winter, 2015), we decided to use the date of the last cancer screening test documented in the medical record as an inclusion criterion in our current study. Medical record documentation of cancer screening has been suggested for the primary outcome of interventions to increase cancer screening, however, the use of medical record documentation for enrollment in behavioral interventions creates additional challenges.
Validity of Patient-Reported Comorbidities Before Total Knee and Hip Arthroplasty in Patients Older Than 65 years
2012, Journal of ArthroplastyValidation study suggested no differential misclassification of self-reported mammography history in BRCA1/2 mutation carriers
2011, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :As expected, accuracy of age at last mammogram was better than for age at first mammogram, which is in agreement with better recall of more recent mammograms [7–9]. Studies assessing the validity of date of last mammogram and/or time since last mammogram found that accuracy was between 30% and 70% for exact agreement and increased to between 50% and 97% for agreement within 1 year [7–9,11–15,22,23]. For age at last mammogram, we observed an accuracy of 52% and 83% for exact agreement and agreement within 1 year, respectively.
Reliability and validity of the self-report as a measuring instrument

2009, Journal of Surgical ResearchCitation Excerpt :However, these latter studies were based on self-reported mammography screening and inquired only about recent use, not adherence to recommended screening guidelines over time. Self-reported data about mammography screening are prone to recall bias, particularly among low-income African-American women [23]. Inadequate diagnostic follow-up after abnormal screening results also might result in a delay in presentation [13], resulting in a late-stage diagnosis.
