USCCHNGY
Reason for change in family member's usual source of care in past year

Description

For all persons eligible for the Access to Care section (ACCESSELIG) in a reporting unit where at least one person has a usual source of care provider (USUALPL) who changed their usual source of care provider in the last year (USCCHNG), USCCHNGY reports the main reason why family member(s) changed their usual source of care in the past 12 months.

USCCHNGY is collected as part of the Access to Care section, which gathers information on usual source of care for all family members, characteristics of usual source of care health providers, and barriers family members have faced in obtaining needed health care. Please see USCCHNG for all variables describing the family member's usual source of care and ACCESSELIG for more information about the Access to Care section.

IPUMS MEPS reports the universe for each variable based on a thorough review of the original MEPS documentation. Investigating the data may reveal cases that do not meet the stated universe. Users are encouraged to validate universes for their analyses.
