| | | | Summary: | The National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES) series
provides information on health expenditures by or on behalf of families
and individuals, the financing of these expenditures, and each person's
use of services. The Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives
(SAIAN) was designed in collaboration with the Indian Health Service
(IHS), and used the same data collection instruments, interview
procedures, and time frame as the NMES Household Survey component.
However, the SAIAN differed from the Household Survey in several
respects. The SAIAN sample was interviewed only three times and was not
given the supplements on long-term care, caregiving, and
care-receiving. Also, SAIAN respondents were asked additional questions
on topics such as use of IHS facilities and traditional medicine, and
were given a modified self-administered questionnaire with separate
versions for adults and children. Interviewers for the SAIAN were
mainly American Indians or Alaska Natives, and about 20 percent of the
interviews were not conducted entirely in English. Of these,
approximately 40 percent were conducted entirely in the native language
of the respondent. Public Use Tape 21P includes variables on
demographic characteristics (age, race, sex), medical conditions,
illnesses, limitations on activities, vaccinations, type of medical
facility and doctors, and native language. |

| | | Data Collection Notes: | The principal investigator notes that the data in
Public Use Tape 21P are preliminary in nature and released prior to
final cleaning and editing, in order to provide access to information
from the SAIAN. Records in these files can be linked to other public
use sets from the SAIAN using the person identifier (PIDX). For user
convenience the file also contains, for each person, basic demographic
characteristics as established in the SAIAN. These demographic data
replace data items previously released in NATIONAL MEDICAL EXPENDITURE
SURVEY, 1987: SURVEY OF AMERICAN INDIANS AND ALASKA NATIVES, ROUND 1
PERSON-LEVEL FILE [PUBLIC USE TAPE 11] (ICPSR 9689). This collection is
superseded by NATIONAL MEDICAL EXPENDITURE SURVEY, 1987: SURVEY OF
AMERICAN INDIANS AND ALASKA NATIVES, POPULATION DATA, DATA FROM THE
HEALTH STATUS QUESTIONNAIRE AND ACCESS TO CARE SUPPLEMENT, AND
EXPENDITURES AND SOURCES OF PAYMENT DATA [PUBLIC USE TAPE 37] (ICPSR
6490). |

| | | | Sample: | The sample is a stratified area probability design with
three stages of sample selection: (1) selection of primary sampling
units (PSUs), which are counties or groups of contiguous counties (in
Alaska, the county equivalents developed by the state of Alaska and the
Census Bureau for statistical purposes were employed), (2) selection of
segments within PSUs, (3) selection and screening of dwelling units
within segments. Based on the results of the screening, all dwelling
units including persons eligible for IHS services were selected in the
SAIAN. The sample frame included all counties in the United States
including or adjacent to reservations of federally-recognized tribes or
Alaska Native villages. For cost considerations, the sample frame was
truncated to remove counties with the lowest concentrations of eligible
persons, and disproportionate sampling was applied to remaining
counties with low concentrations of American Indians. |
