Request for Assistance on Health Initiatives Summaries of staff responses to recent requests for assistance on health initiatives, and to help ensure transparency and efficiency in responding to such informational needs and requests for substantive assistance by public policymakers. As part of AHRQ's mission to improve the quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of health care for all Americans, research and data development efforts are supported to help inform health care policy and practice. The Agency administers surveys and develops large primary data sets to support health care policy and behavioral research and analyses. These activities fall along a continuum ranging from data development, evaluation, and dissemination, to basic research, and on to applied research to inform health care decisions and support policy analysis.This new section of the AHRQ Web site has been developed to post summaries of staff responses to recent requests for assistance on health initiatives, and to help ensure transparency and efficiency in responding to such informational needs and requests for substantive assistance by public policymakers.AHRQ Analyses of Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) DataInform Estimates of the Concentration and Persistence in the Level of Health Expenditures over TimeInform Estimates of the Number of Long-Term UninsuredInform HHS Report on Declining Employer-Sponsored Insurance CoverageInform HHS Report on Health Insurance Reform and Costs for Small BusinessesUsed in New Report on How Health Insurance Reform Will Help America's Older WomenDistribution of Population by Percentile Ranking of Medical Expenditures and Insurance Coverage: United States and New York State, 2006Health Care in Urban and Rural Areas, Combined Years 2004-06: Update of Chartbook 13Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Data in New Report on Hidden Costs of Health CareMEPS Data in Report on Middle Class and Health ReformNational Estimates of Health Insurance Coverage, Mental Health Utilization, and Spending for Low-Income IndividualsNear-Elderly Adults, Ages 55-64: Health Insurance Coverage, Cost and AccessInforming Health Initiatives: Summary of Requests and Assistance ProvidedAugust 2011-February 2012April 2011-July 2011December 2010-March 2011July-November 2010March-June 2010November 2009-February 2010July-October 2009June 2009February-May 2009 Current as of March 2012 Internet Citation: Request for Assistance on Health Initiatives.
