As self-report obtained from interviews does not always equate to actual practice, we also used ethnographic methods, including participant observation and informal discussions to explored decision-making processes and practices in situ in three acute units in the north east of England.
Self-report obtained by interview with certified assessors was used to define personal and family history of medical diagnoses such as diabetes; being aware of diabetes; and demographic variables, including age, sex, Hispanic/Latino background, income, education, and length of residence in the U.S. (but not territories).
First, dietary intake was based on self-reports obtained from weighed food.
Our study relies on self-reports obtained from adolescents via questionnaire; therefore, there is a risk that the actual prevalence of smoking may be different from the reported prevalence, possibly because of social desirability bias.
Self-reports obtained throughout the outbreak were used, and this result could have been subject to reverse causation; i.e., symptomatic persons may have reduced their frequency of travel.
Since our study relies on self-reports obtained from adolescents via a questionnaire for data collection, there is a risk that the actual prevalence of smoking may be different from the reported prevalence, for example, due to the social desirability bias.
The self-report obtains a patient's subjective evaluation of his or her own level of treatment compliance behaviour.
This study relied on patient self report to obtain information regarding BMI (weight and height), weight loss attempts and strategies.
We examined subjects' sensorimotor event-related EEG events, corticospinal excitability changes estimated with single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), BCI accuracy and self-assessment reports obtained with specially designed questionnaires and interview routine.
At T1 only five child self reports were obtained, the other children were too young to fill out self-reports.
Finally, some discussion is warranted regarding self-report data obtained in our study.
