| Abstract: | Background Many epidemiological studies rely on self-reported information, the accuracy of which is critical for unbiased estimates of
population health. Previously, accuracy has been analyzed by comparing self-reports to other sources, such as cancer registries.
Cancer is believed to be a well-reported condition. This paper uses novel panel data to test the consistency of cancer reports
for respondents with repeated self-reports. |
