/*  SPSS User Files are being provided for the convenience of analysts who   */
/*  may wish to use SPSS to analyze the MEPS data. However, users are        */
/*  cautioned that SPSS does not currently have the capability to produce    */
/*  appropriate standard errors for estimates from a survey with a complex   */
/*  sample design like the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). The      */
/*  annual national probability sample of households selected for the MEPS   */
/*  is a subsample of those participating in the National Health Interview   */
/*  Survey (NHIS) for the previous calendar year. The NHIS, an ongoing       */
/*  general health survey of the civilian noninstitutionalized population,   */
/*  is conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for   */
/*  Disease Control and Prevention. The NHIS sample design, and thus that    */
/*  of the MEPS, uses complex sampling techniques including                  */
/*  stratification, clustering, and differential sampling rates for the      */
/*  oversampling of selected subgroups of the population. Because of this    */
/*  sampling structure, software that accounts for this complex sample       */
/*  design must be used. Without the use of appropriate software that        */
/*  accounts for the complex sample design of the MEPS in conjunction with   */
/*  the survey's sampling weights (reflecting the survey's sample            */
/*  selection probabilities and nonresponse and other adjustments), the      */
/*  estimated standard errors of survey point estimates will generally be    */
/*  underestimated, and, thus, the inferential conclusions in an analysis    */
/*  (descriptive or analytical) may be misleading. It is recommended that    */
/*  sample survey software be used to analyze the MEPS data. Software for    */
/*  analysis of complex survey data include, for example, SUDAAN (Research   */
/*  Triangle Institute), STATA (Stata Corporation), VPLX (U.S. Bureau of     */
/*  the Census), and WESVAR (Westat, Inc.). A more comprehensive summary     */
/*  of software for the analysis of data from surveys with complex sample    */
/*  designs can be accessed through the website for the American             */
/*  Statistical Association's Survey Research Methods Section. Users may     */
