Released as an ASCII file with SAS, SPSS, STATA, and R programming statements, a SAS transport file, a SAS V9 file, a XLSX file, and a Stata file, the 2022 Medical Conditions File is one in a series of public use data files drawn from the 2022 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component (HC). It provides information on household-reported medical conditions collected from a nationally representative sample of the civilian noninstitutionalized population of the United States for calendar year 2022. Each record represents one current medical condition reported for a person during Rounds 7-9 of Panel 24, Rounds 3-5 of Panel 26, and Rounds 1-3 of Panel 27 of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS), corresponding to the rounds for the MEPS panels covering calendar year 2022. Person-level data (e.g., demographic or health insurance characteristics) from the 2022 MEPS Full-Year Consolidated File (HC-243) can be merged to the records in this file using the DUPERSID variable. Data from this file also can be merged to the 2022 MEPS Event Files (HC-239A, and HC-239D through HC-239H) by using the link variables provided in the 2022 MEPS Appendix File (HC-239I).
