Dates: September 23-24
Location: Rockville, MD
AHRQ is conducting a 2-day workshop to facilitate the use of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, Household Component (MEPS-HC) by the health services research community. The workshop is designed for those with an interest in using national health surveys.
The purpose of this workshop is to facilitate the use of the Medical MEPS-HC public use data files by the health services research community by providing both practical information about MEPS files and an opportunity to construct analytic files with the assistance of AHRQ staff.
The workshop can accommodate approximately 50 participants.
This workshop is designed for health services researchers who have a background or interest in medical expenditures and conditions. The lectures will include topics such as utilization, estimation, medical conditions file, prescription medicines file, and State estimates. Individuals whose primary interest is in State or local area analyses or clinical research would not benefit from this workshop. Given the nature and pace of the second day of the workshop, participants will have some prior knowledge of MEPS. A basic knowledge of SAS is desirable.
