  • Self-reported health measures used in HRS have been rigorously assessed for their validity and reliability.

    “Self-reported health measures used in HRS have been rigorously assessed for their validity and reliability (49, 54).”

    From Purpose in life and use of preventive health care services (2014) · cites this paper as [49]

    In “C. Objective vs. Self-Reported and Subjective Health Measures” (page unavailable), the paper reviews studies of the validity and reliability of self-reported chronic conditions and describes HRS checks of discrepancies across waves. It does not establish that the self-reported health measures used in HRS, as a whole, have been rigorously assessed for both properties. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • The HRS preventive measures have high reliability and validity, as shown by benchmarking against other national surveys.

    “Furthermore, the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) preventive measures were evaluated by benchmarking them against other national surveys and shown to have high reliability and validity (49).”

    From Purpose in life and use of preventive health care services (2014) · cites this paper as [49]

    In “B. Benchmarking Against Other Surveys” (page unavailable), the paper compares HRS chronic-condition prevalence estimates with NHIS estimates and says their correspondence provides evidence of external validity. It does not establish high reliability through that benchmarking, and the finding concerns chronic-disease measures rather than preventive measures. (LLM, conf=0.88)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
