Description:
The recall of chronic physical pain on health surveys maybe influenced by several sources of error, This report describes a program of research exploring three factors that potentially influence pain reporting: (1) the complexity of the lexicon used to describe pain, (2) the focus of surveys on either recall of pain severity or on changes in daily activities and observable behaviors brought on by pain, and (3) ongoing mental states such as experienced pain and transient moods.

"This research was ... conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) under grant SESN8612320 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) ... The program of research reported on here was performed under Department of Health and Human Services contract 200-88-7001 from NCHS to Yale University"--T.p. verso.
