Extent of agreement between retrospective and prospective measures of variables in 7 content domains (residence change, anthropometrics, injuries, reading ability, family characteristics, behavior problems, and delinquency) was studied for 1,037 New Zealand adolescents. Absolute agreement among measures was poor, suggesting caution when using retrospective reports. (SLD)
