Out-of-Pocket Medical Expenditures in the Redesigned Current Population Survey: Evaluating Improvements to Data Processing
Abstract Household surveys are an important source of information on medical spending and burden. We examine how recently implemented post-processing improvements to the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC) affected estimates of medical expenditures and medical burden. The revised data extraction and imputation procedures mark the second stage of the CPS ASEC redesign and the beginning of a new time series for studying household medical expenditures.

This study characterizes heterogeneous trajectories of health among older Americans and investigates how employment histories differentiate them.

We use latent class growth analysis to identify distinct health trajectory classes and linear growth curve analysis to model the pattern of limitation accumulation for individuals.
