Health State Utility Assessment of Adults Versus Children or Adults They Care For, 2012-2013 (ICPSR 35639)
Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Geographic coverage: District of Columbia, Mississippi, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Kansas, Florida
Time period: 2012-01-01--2013-01-01
The overall aim of this study was to examine if health utility values differ for children, adults, and the elderly, in order to test whether we value the lives of children, adults, and the elderly differently. To that end, the study collected utilities from study participants between the ages of 18 and 65 using varying health state scenarios. The participants provided utility values for themselves as well as values for hypothetical or real children or elderly persons they care for. Standard gamble and time trade-off procedures were used to value four hypothetical health states: severe seizure disorder, severe bilateral vision loss, severe mental impairment and diabetes.

Public Health Activities and Services Tracking (PHAST): Local Health Department Expenditures for Florida and Washington, 1998-2013 (ICPSR 36126)
Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Geographic coverage: United States, Florida, Washington
Time period: 1998-01-01--2013-01-01
The purpose of Public Health Activities and Services Tracking (PHAST), in particular the Budget Cuts and Health Outcomes project, is to address knowledge gaps in public health practice, research, and policymaking to examine the following research questions: (1) Is variation in local health department (LHD) services and expenditures related to local needs?; and (2) What are the effects of the recession-induced changes in LHD resources and services on population health? The two data files in this collection were produced as part of this study. The first file covers annual expenditures by service type for Florida LHDs during 2000-2013, the second annual revenues and expenditures by service type for Washington LHDs during 1998-2011. Both files contain indicator variables that flag service types classified as women, infants, and children (WIC) service; family planning; or maternal, infant, child, and adolescent (MICA) service.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Employer Health Insurance Survey, 1993 (ICPSR 6908)
Released/updated on: 2006-03-30
Geographic coverage: Oregon, Vermont, New York, United States, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Minnesota, Florida, North Dakota, Washington
Time period: 1993-01-01--1994-01-01
The purpose of this survey was to investigate the barriers to the provision of employer-sponsored health insurance coverage and to describe the premiums and other characteristics of health plans offered by employers. With the goal of remedying the previous lack of state-level data, the survey was conducted to aid in defining problems in the employment-based insurance market and in analyzing the impacts of states' policy options. The survey collected data on characteristics of employers and workers in establishments offering and not offering health insurance, including the number of employees (statewide and nationwide), the distribution of workers by hours worked, age, sex, and earnings, the peak month for seasonal workers, the type of industry or business, whether health insurance was offered, and eligibility rules for health insurance. It also collected information about the characteristics of plans offered, including premiums, cost-sharing, medical underwriting, self-insurance, type of plan, number of days a person must wait for coverage of a preexisting condition, and whether each plan covered prenatal care, maternity care, outpatient prescription drugs, mental health services, dental care, and treatment for alcoholism or drug abuse. The survey also elicited information from employers not offering health insurance as to other forms of compensation for medical expenses they provided to employees. There are three data files in the collection. Part 1, Firms Data, contains information on the surveyed firms. Part 2, Plans Data, has data on each insurance plan offered by these firms. Part 3, FIPS State and County Codes for Firms Data, identifies the state and county of each firm. Parts 1 and 3 comprise one case per firm, Part 2 one case per insurance plan.

Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Family Health Insurance Survey, 1993 (ICPSR 6894)
Released/updated on: 2005-06-22
Geographic coverage: Oregon, Vermont, New York, United States, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, Minnesota, Florida, North Dakota, Washington
Time period: 1993-01-01--1994-01-01
This survey investigated health insurance coverage, as well as access to and use of health services, in each of ten states. With the goal of remedying the previous lack of state-level data, the survey was conducted to aid in defining problems of insurance coverage and to analyze the impacts of states' policy options. The main unit of observation is the health insurance family, which includes the head, spouse, and their children up to age 18, or to age 23 if they were in school. Variables on health insurance coverage include the types of coverage respondents carried (Medicare, Medicaid, additional state or federal programs, and private policies), sources of private policy coverage, premiums paid for private policies, and number of months uninsured during the last year. Access to health care is measured by variables such as the type of usual health care provider, the amount of time it usually took to get to the doctor's office, and whether needed medical care was not received during the previous year. Variables on the utilization of health care include the number of overnight hospital stays, the number of visits to doctors, age at first DPT (diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus) shot, age at first oral polio immunization, and the number of months since the most recent breast exam and Pap smear. The survey also elicited self-reported health status and opinions on the health care system, gauged satisfaction/dissatisfaction with health services received, and gathered information on employment, income, education, migration, age, sex, marital status, race, Hispanic origin, and citizenship.

Small Business Benefits Study (SBBS), 1990: [Denver, Flint, Tampa, and Tucson] (ICPSR 6002)
Released/updated on: 1998-04-20
Geographic coverage: Flint, United States, Colorado, Tucson, Denver, Florida, Tampa, Arizona, Michigan
This survey was conducted as part of an evaluation of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Health Care for the Uninsured Program (HCUP), a program whose primary focus was the development and marketing of affordable health insurance products for small businesses. The survey investigated the number and types of small businesses that offered and did not offer insurance, the number and types of employees of small businesses who received and did not receive insurance, and whether the employers and employees participating in HCUP were different from those with other types of insurance or from those with no insurance. In addition, the survey was designed to test several hypotheses: whether employers facing an inelastic demand for their product or a tight labor market would be more likely to offer health insurance to their employees, and whether higher wages substitute for health insurance for certain groups of highly skilled or unionized workers. Firm-level data collected by the survey include number of permanent and temporary employees, employee turnover, fringe benefits offered to full- and part-time employees (e.g., paid vacation, paid sick leave, long-term disability insurance, life insurance, retirement plan, group health insurance), type of business, number of years owner had owned the company, age and legal form of the company, and gross revenue. Extensive information on health insurance was obtained from firms offering this benefit: total monthly premium paid for health insurance, percent of premium paid by the company, reasons that influenced the decision to provide health insurance, whether a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) insurance plan was offered, whether a deductible or co-payment was required for hospital inpatient services, and whether hospital room and board, physician office visits, maternity care, prescription drugs, inpatient mental health treatment, or substance abuse treatment were covered. These firms were also queried about recent changes in the number of health plan enrollees, deductibles, co-insurance rates, benefits offered, employer premium share, recent changes in health insurance carriers and reasons for changing, and recent increases in premiums and their effects on the firm's prices, profits, wages, and number of employees. Companies not offering health insurance were asked why they did not offer this benefit and were queried about factors that might influence them to offer a health plan. Individual-level data on employees include sex, age, marital status, length of employment, number of hours worked during the last week, salary or wage, health plan participation, amount of health premium paid by the employee, and whether the employee had health coverage from another source.

Small Business Benefits Study, Wave 2 (SBBS 2), 1992-1993: [Selected Metropolitan Counties in the United States] (ICPSR 6667)
Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Geographic coverage: Oregon, Flint, United States, Colorado, Tucson, Ohio, Denver, Florida, Tampa, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania
Time period: 1992-10-01--1993-02-01
This is the second wave of a split-panel study first conducted in 1990 (SMALL BUSINESS BENEFITS STUDY (SBBS), 1990 [DENVER, FLINT, TAMPA, AND TUCSON] [ICPSR 6002]). Both waves examined the characteristics of small businesses and their health insurance markets. SBBS 2 also collected follow-up information on the respondents to the first wave. Firm-level data collected by SBBS 2 include type of business, age of the firm, number of years under the current owner, gross receipts, number of employees, and whether the firm offered health insurance. For firms that offered health insurance benefits, respondents were queried on the continuity of benefits, why firms changed insurers (where applicable), characteristics of the insurance plan, and how the firm would respond to a 25-percent increase in premiums. For firms that did not offer health insurance benefits, respondents were asked whether insurance was available in the last five years, why the firm decided to stop offering insurance if it had offered health insurance previously, whether the firm was interested in offering insurance, and factors that might influence the firm to offer insurance. Individual-level data on employees include gender, age, marital status, salary and wages, hours worked, and length of employment

Released/updated on: 2024-02-14
Geographic coverage: Connecticut, Minnesota, Florida, Wisconsin, Washington, Nebraska
Time period: 1988-01-01--1991-12-31
This study comprises enrollment, utilization, and cost data for a number of state-sponsored high-risk health insurance plans. These plans, known as state risk pools, were primarily established for persons who wanted to buy health insurance but either were medically uninsurable or unable to find a policy at a reasonable cost. Enrollment variables in the data collection include reason for eligibility, preexisting conditions, Medicaid status, and month and year of enrollment and disenrollment. Utilization and cost variables include person's age and gender, coinsurance and deductible payments, and allowed charges by type of disease and type of service (outpatient, inpatient, pharmacy, or physician). The utilization and cost data are aggregated by person and month, with each observation representing a single month of enrollment for an individual.
