A comparison of different sources of information about pregnancy and childbirth.
Different methods of obtaining information in medical and social research present problems of interpretation for the research er . However , there are few systematic studies on the extent of the lack of concordance yielded by different methods . This paper uses data from a r and omized controlled trial of social support in pregnancy to examine this issue in relation to three methods of data collection --medical records , home interviews and a postal question naire -- on the following topics : obstetric history ; smoking , alcohol use , number of antenatal hospital visits , bleeding and depression in pregnancy ; length of labour ; baby 's sex , birthweight and neonatal health problems ; and ethnicity . Considerable discrepancies are found comparing the different data sources . These suggest that mothers may be more reliable sources of information than medical records , and that the anonymity of a postal question naire may provide higher estimates than home interviews on some sensitive topics , such as smoking in pregnancy
