On-line life history calendar and sensitive topics: A pilot study

作者：

Highlights：

• Life-history calendar (LHC) methods are reliable for collecting retrospective data.

• The study compared an on-line LHC with a conventional on-line questionnaire (CQ).

• Similar quantities of events were collected with the on-line LHC and the on-line CQ.

• The LHC produced more consistent answers in the test-retest than CQ.

• Respondents reedited their answers with the on-line LHC to report more precise data.
