Description  This public use data file is one in a series of event-level public use data files drawn from the 2002 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component (HC). Released as an ASCII file with SAS and SPSS programming statements and in SAS transport format, the Dental Visits File provides detailed information on dental events for a nationally representative sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United Sates during the 2002 calendar year. This file consists of 2002 data obtained in the 2002 portion of round 3 and rounds 4 and 5 for Panel 6, as well as rounds 1, 2, and the 2002 portion of round 3 for Panel 7 of the survey (i.e., the rounds for the MEPS panels covering calendar year 2002), and contains variables pertaining to household reported dental visits. The file includes the date of the dental event, type of provider seen, if the visit was due to an accident, reason for the dental event, and whether or not medicines were prescribed.
