Description

For adults 18 and older who completed the Social and Health Experiences (SHE) self-administered questionnaire (SDOHELIG), DSCRMSSVC indicates whether the respondent has ever experienced discrimination when applying for social services or public assistance. DSCRMSSVC was fielded as one of seven questions about experiences with discrimination included in the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) supplement fielded via the 2021 SHE pencil-and-paper questionnaire. The SHE questionnaire was the first MEPS-HC questionnaire to be fielded using paper and web modes. Please see DSCRMDR for more information about the Experiences with Discrimination variables included in the SDOH supplement.
