Effects of improvements in the CPS on the estimated prevalence of medical financial burdens.
The authors sought to measure the effects of questionnaire and imputation improvements in the Current Population Survey (CPS) on the estimated prevalence of high medical financial burden. They found that the estimated prevalence increased among nonelderly adults with private insurance, decreased among nonelderly adults with public coverage, and decreased among elderly adults with Medicare and no private coverage. The authors concluded that improvements in the CPS changed the estimated prevalence of high medical financial burden among key subgroups, and they recommended that researchers use caution when tracking burden across the time-period in which these improvements were implemented.
