ABSTRACT
Test-retest reliability was established on a sample of 38 women reinterviewed by a second interviewer from 6 to 8 weeks after the first interview (median = 6 weeks). Space limitations preclude the listing of the reliability coefficient for each item, but they are available from the authors. Items concerning personal history, such as the subjects’ age when first having intercourse and the frequency of sexual behaviors, were highly reliable. Pearson correlations ranged from .80 to .98, with the exception of the item concerning noncoital genital sex play with a partner, r = .37, p < .03.
