Return to Experiences with Care variables list

Description

For SAQ persons ages 18 and older and children ages 0 to 17 who made any appointments for their health care with a doctor or other health provider in the last 12 months (ADRTCR), ADRTWW indicates how often they got an appointment for their health care as soon as they thought they needed it. This excludes times they needed care right away.

Beginning in 2018 ADRTWW is fielded every other year and will only be collected in odd years. See our user note for more details on this and other changes that occurred in 2018.

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.

ADRTWW is part of the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS). See VISITYRNO for more information on CAHPS.

For adults ages 18 and older, ADRTWW is part of the Self-Administered Questionnaire (SAQ), a pencil-and-paper survey. See SAQELIG for more information on the SAQ.

For children ages 0 to 17, ADRTWW was asked on the Parent Administered Questionnaire, a pencil-and-paper survey, in 2000. For 2001 forward, ADRTWW is part of the Child Preventive Health Supplement. See LESSHLTHY for more information on the Child Preventive Health Supplement.
