Upcoming Webinar on June 16, 2022: Using MEPS-HC Data for Longitudinal Research and Linking to NHIS Data.
Registration will open on June 3, 2022; please check back then to register.
The focus of this webinar is to address challenges researchers face when analyzing MEPS-HC data for longitudinal
research, analysis with pooling data across years/panels, and analysis linking MEPS-HC data with NHIS data. The
webinar will also provide a general overview of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). A Q&A session is
planned at the end of the session to give participants an opportunity to ask questions pertaining to their specific
research.
All researchers are welcome to attend but this webinar is best suited for those who are somewhat familiar with MEPS
and may already be working on some research using MEPS data.
