Description
For adults 18 and older who completed the Social and Health Experiences (SHE) self-administered questionnaire (SDOHELIG), UNEXPEXP indicates how confident the respondent is that they would be able to come up with $400 if an unexpected expense arose within the next month. UNEXPEXP 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. Please see SATISFIED for more information on the SDOH supplement, including a complete list of variables fielded on the 2021 SHE.
