Release date: October 2016
|
This file is a two-year longitudinal file derived from the respondents to the MEPS Panel 18 sample. The persons on this data set represent those who were in the MEPS population (U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized) for all or part of the 2013-2014 period. The file contains a longitudinal weight variable (LONGWT) and all variables from the 2013 and 2014 full-year consolidated data files (HC-163 and HC-171, respectively). The weight variable (LONGWT), when applied to the persons who participated in both 2013 and 2014, will enable the user to make national estimates of person-level changes in selected variables (e.g., health insurance, health status, utilization and expenditures). In addition, LONGWT can be used to develop cross-sectional type estimates for the two-year period and for each year individually based on only the Panel 18 sample.
