Framework for Updating DU Level Nonresponse Adjustment Covariates for the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) |
Description: |
|
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is a complex national probability sample survey
sponsored by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The MEPS sample is
drawn from households that participated in the previous year's National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The MEPS is designed to provide nationally
representative estimates of health care use, expenditures, sources of payment, and insurance
coverage for the U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized population. Each new MEPS sample is
referred to as a panel and data for each panel are collected through a series of five rounds of
computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI) that yield annual data for each of two consecutive
calendar years. |
