Sample Design and Response Rates. The MEPS HC is designed to produce estimates at the national and regional level over time for the civilian, non-institutionalized population of the United States and some subpopulations of interest. The MEPS HC uses an overlapping panel design in which data for two calendar years are obtained through five rounds of data collection. A new sample (new Panel) of households for MEPS is selected each year from among household respondents for the previous year's National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (The NHIS is an ongoing general health survey of the U.S. civilian non-institutionalized population.) MEPS Panel 6 spans the two calendar years 2001 and 2002 while MEPS Panel 7 spans 2002 and 2003. This file consists of the subset of data from the sixth and seventh MEPS panels covering from January 1 through, roughly, the spring of calendar year 2002. More specifically, data from the 2002 portion of the third Round of data collection for the MEPS Panel 6 sample are pooled with data from the first Round of data collection for the MEPS Panel 7 sample (see illustration below).
