The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the quality of retrospective assessments of a number of commonly used measures in gerontological and caregiving research. Data were taken from interviews with 242 caregivers participating in a longitudinal study of caregiving. Results indicate moderate to high 1-year retrospective reliability for measures of ADL, obligation to the elder, affection for the elder, and global assessments of the caregiver's health. In contrast, retrospective assessments of objective and subjective burden were found to be of relatively low quality.
