HC-043: 1998 Supplemental Public Use File
Update #1: 05/06/03
To construct a weight for use
in analysis using Health Insurance Eligibility Units (HIEUs):
1. Identify the HIEU head by
your analytic intent, i.e. if only studying heath insurance unit
with female heads of households, choose the female adult as head
of household.
2. If the weight of the HIEU
head is non-zero, use the weight of the HIEU head for all members
of that HIEU; or
3. If the weight of the HIEU
head is zero, delete the case.
