Released as an ASCII file (with related SAS, SPSS, and STATA programming statements) and a SAS transport dataset, this public use file provides information collected on a nationally representative sample of the civilian non-institutionalized population of the United States for calendar year 2002. This file consists of MEPS survey data obtained in Rounds 3, 4, and 5 of Panel 6 and Rounds 1, 2, and 3 of Panel 7 (i.e., the rounds for the MEPS panels covering calendar year 2002) and consolidates all of the final 2002 person-level variables onto one file. This file contains the following variables previously released on HC-062: survey administration, demographics, employment, health status, quality of care, patient satisfaction and health insurance. The HC-070 file also includes these variables: parent identifiers, access to care and disability days variables, language of interview variable, income variables, additional health insurance variables including summary indicators, and use and expenditure variables.
