This public use data file is one in a series of event-level public use data files drawn from the 1999 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component (HC). Released as an ASCII file with SAS, SPSS, and STATA programming statements and in SAS transport format, the Dental Visits File provides detailed information on dental events for a nationally representative sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States during the 1999 calendar year. This file consists of 1999 data obtained in the 1999 portion of round 3 (round 2 for some cases), and rounds 4 and 5 for Panel 3, as well as rounds 1, 2, and the 1999 portion of round 3 for Panel 4 of the survey (i.e., the rounds for the MEPS panels covering calendar year 1999), and contains variables pertaining to household reported dental visits. The file includes the date of the dental event, type of provider seen, if the visit was due to an accident, reason for the dental event, and whether or not medicines were prescribed.
For more information, see MEPS HC-054: 1999 and 2000 MEPS HC Survey Data.
