Summary
This study tests whether using a life history calendar—a simple grid that helps people recall important life events—can improve the accuracy of mental health surveys. Researchers in Hong Kong will ask 2,500 adults about their lifetime experiences with conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD, comparing results from a standard interview with and without the calendar. The goal is to see if the calendar helps people remember more clearly, without increasing false reports.
