Description

For adults 18 and older who completed the Social and Health Experiences (SHE) self-administered questionnaire (SDOHELIG), LATEUTIL indicates whether, during the last 12 months, the respondent's household was unable to pay the electric, gas, oil, or water bills on time. LATEUTIL was fielded as one of eighteen questions about health-related social needs 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 TRANSBAR for more information about the Health-Related Social Needs variables included in the SDOH supplement.
