Positive and negative predictive values, sensitivity, and specificity were computed and compared between the intervention and control group families.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Sensitivities were high among the four safety practices. Specificities were much lower and fell into a much wider range than sensitivities. The positive predictive values were low and the negative predictive values were high. No differences in these indicators of validity were found between intervention and control group families.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>\n                  <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> If the main interest in an evaluation is on the <jats:italic>relative<\/jats:italic> difference between study groups, rather than the <jats:italic>absolute<\/jats:italic> value of the outcome measure, our results suggest that self reported data may be of acceptable validity. However, when assessing a patient\u2019s risk, clinicians need to recognize the problem of over-reporting of safety practices.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.9.1.73","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,17]],"date-time":"2003-03-17T16:46:54Z","timestamp":1047919614000},"page":"73-75","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":48,"title":["Validity of self reported home safety practices"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"L-H","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A C","family":"Gielen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"E M","family":"McDonald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092603232962000_9.1.73.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-3797(18)30484-7","volume":"11","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Prev Med"},{"key":"2025092603232962000_9.1.73.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.85.7.932"},{"key":"2025092603232962000_9.1.73.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"58","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-199201000-00012","volume":"32","year":"1992","journal-title":"J Trauma"},{"key":"2025092603232962000_9.1.73.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.2.1.67"},{"key":"2025092603232962000_9.1.73.5","unstructured":"Center for Injury Research and Policy.
