Minority Health

Description: The race and ethnicity of individuals in the MEPS-HC are reported in order to support analyses for minority groups. The specifications for determining both the race and ethnicity were changed in the MEPS-HC survey in 2002. In addition to the publications listed below, most of the statistical briefs and other analytic reports using MEPS-HC data include race/ethnicity breakouts and analysis.
Healthcare information for minority groups is also available in the annual National Healthcare Disparities Report.

Publications: Publications are listed in reverse chronological order (most recent first).
