MEPS HC-114: MEPS Panel 11 Longitudinal Data File |
|
|
|
Release date: December 2009
|
This file is a two-year longitudinal file derived from the respondents to the MEPS Panel 11 sample. The persons on this data set represent those who were in the MEPS population (U.S. civilian noninstitutionalized) for all or part of the 2006-2007 period. The file contains a longitudinal weight variable (LONGWT), all variables from the 2006 and 2007 consolidated full-year files (HC-105 and HC-113, respectively), and the strata and PSU values from the full year consolidated files and the pooled variance data file (HC-036). The weight variable (LONGWT), when applied to the persons who participated in both 2006 and 2007, will enable the user to make national estimates of person-level changes in selected variables (e.g., health insurance, health status, utilization and expenditures). In addition, LONGWT can be used to develop cross-sectional type estimates for the two-year period and for each year individually based on only the Panel 11 sample.
