Analyzing Medical Conditions in MEPS: User Guide (Part 1 of 2) and Detailed Reference Guide (Part 2 of 2) |
Description: |
|
This report is a two-part series of documents designed to help users analyze medical conditions in the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) and understand changes to the survey that may affect analyses. Over time, MEPS has increasingly focused on asking respondents about conditions associated with medical care and prescription drugs, as well as chronic medical conditions deemed a priority for research due to their high prevalence, rather than collecting data on all possible conditions. Part 1 of this series is a short user guide that provides specific recommendations for analyzing MEPS condition data. Part 2 of this series is a detailed reference guide that documents changes to the survey that have affected how data on medical conditions are collected, processed, and disseminated to the public. |
