Abstract:
|
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) is a nationally representative health survey that is used to produce estimates of health care expenditures and utilization. The MEPS uses the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) as its sampling frame, allowing for limited paradata that may assist with developing discrete hazard models to assess the likelihood of a completed interview with sample households. Using data from the 2004 NHIS, along with 2005 MEPS contact history data, the purpose of this paper is to explore factors that may influence a successful interview in the MEPS.
