Who underreports smoking on birth records: a Monte Carlo predictive model with validation. by Thomas G Land, Anna S Landau, Susan E Manning, Jane K Purtill, Kate Pickett, Lauren Wakschlag, Vanja M Dukic

“…However, little is known about which populations have higher rates of underreporting. Availability of more accurate measures of smoking during pregnancy could greatly enhance the usefulness of existing studies on the effects of maternal smoking offspring, especially in those populations where underreporting may lead to underestimation of the impact of smoking during pregnancy.…”
