Description
For all persons eligible for the Access to Care section (ACCESSELIG), YBARDENTAL reports whether, in the past 12 months, there was any time when the respondent needed dental care but did not get it because they could not afford it.
YBARDENTAL 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 UNMTNDMC for all variables pertaining to reasons the respondent was unable to obtain or had to delay necessary medical 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.
