aNegative or poor refers to household incomes below the Federal poverty line; near poor/low, over the poverty line to just below 200 percent of the poverty line; middle, 200 percent to just below 400 percent of the poverty line; and high, 400 percent of the poverty line and over.

bLess than high school graduate refers to fewer than 12 years of education; high school graduate, 12 years of education; and at least some college, more than 12 years of education.

cSee MEPS entry in the Data Sources Appendix (Appendix A) for more information.

dEstimates exclude cases where the respondent did not know whether the test was provided or a response was not ascertained by the interviewer (about one-fifth of the cases each year). Without excluding these cases, the estimated overall percent of persons who definitively had the test was 66.8 percent in 2001. These lower estimates can be interpreted as the lowest possible estimated percent having the test, while the higher estimates shown in the table assume that the estimated percent of persons with a test would be similar for sample persons without a response (if responses were obtained) as for those with a response.

*Data do not meet the criteria for statistical reliability, data quality or confidentiality.

Key: SE: Standard error.
