Comparison of health measures between survey self-reports and electronic health records among Millennium Cohort Study participants receiving Veterans Health Administration care
While negative agreement between self-reported and medical record diagnoses was high in this population, positive and overall agreement were not strong and varied considerably by health condition. Though the limitations of survey-reported health conditions should be considered, using multiple data sources to examine health outcomes in this population may have utility for research, clinical planning, or public health interventions.
