“…This is one of the few published examinations of validity of child-reported SHS exposure [9–12]. Results indicated that parent-reported validities were non-significantly greater than child-reported validities.…”

“…There is limited research comparing the validity of child and parent reports of child's exposure to SHS [10–12]. In an early report [10] researchers compared child vs. parent smoking status of the parent (yes-no) by child age.…”

“…While the validity of parent-reported secondhand smoke exposure of the child has been well-examined [4–8], the validity of child self-reported exposure to SHS has received limited attention [9–12]. The purpose of the present investigation was to determine the validity of child self-reported exposure to SHS and to compare it to parent proxy reports of child exposure.…”

“…Validation was conducted by correlating reports to child urine cotinine and by examining the amount of exposure recalled by parent vs. child. The hypothesized effect that child and parental characteristics, such as child age [12], parental education [13], and level of SHS exposure [12], had on each validity coefficient was also investigated. The validation study was part of a randomized controlled trial, Project Sirocco (R01grant #HL066307), which investigated the efficacy of behavioral counseling to decrease pre- and adolescents' exposure to SHS.…”

Objective-This study examined the validity of child-reported exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS) and investigated factors, such as child's age, that might affect accuracy of recall.Study Design and Setting-Participants were drawn from a nonprobability sample of 380 families who completed baseline assessment as part of a randomized trial of a SHS reduction intervention conducted in an urban setting in Southern California. Parents and children (aged 8-13 years) retrospectively reported child's exposure to SHS using timeline follow-back methodology; reports were compared to child's urine cotinine.

The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final citable form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Results-Validity coefficients for parents and children were comparable (r = 0.58 vs. r = 0.53) but parents recalled three times more exposure than children (2.2 vs. 0.8 cigarettes per day; p < 0.001). NIH Public AccessRegression models predicting cotinine indicated that including child in addition to parent reports resulted in better prediction than either alone.Conclusion-When there is a choice, parent reports are preferable over child reports due to decreased underreporting. However, child-reported SHS exposure had adequate validity (r > 0.50) and might be appropriate in some situations. Researchers might consider collecting both parent and child reports, since each made a unique contribution to the prediction of cotinine.

“…Also, there is evidence that SHS exposure evaluated with biomarkers correlates acceptably well with self-reported exposure for both adults and children/adolescents 29 42 43. However, some studies have questioned its accuracy, particularly for individuals aged less than 16 years old 44. Third, the GHQ-12 is merely a screening instrument, and cannot be used to establish a clinical diagnosis 14.…”
