The study population consisted of adult patients (17years of age and older) attending the Bella Coola Medical Clinic who also completed a detailed Health and Quality of Life Survey. A total of 674 adults completed the Health and Quality of Life Survey. Demographically there was excellent agreement between self-report and clinic data for age, sex, height, weight and Aboriginal ancestry. For morbidity, there was excellent agreement between self-reported and clinically recorded diabetes. Good agreement was observed for diagnoses of cancer, heart problems, hypertension, arthritis and breathing problems. Poor agreement was observed for diagnoses of depression, back/neck problems, eye problems, walking problems, stroke, hearing problems and bone/joint problems. There was poor agreement between the number of self-reported and charted clinic visits. Excellent agreement was shown between self-reported height and weight and clinic height and weight. When BMI was calculated good agreement was achieved between self-report and chart data. It can be concluded that the relationship between chart review and self-report health information observed in this rural population is similar to findings from other populations. Researchers who use self-report data on co-morbidity and obesity measures should be aware of possible error in their estimates and how these errors could affect their findings.
