| | | | Summary: | The Survey of American Indians and Alaska Natives (SAIAN) is
one of three major components of the 1987 National Medical Expenditure
Survey (NMES). (The other two components are the Household Survey and
the Institutional Population Component.) The 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 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 40 percent of the interviews were conducted entirely
in the native language of the respondent. Public Use Tape 11 contains
person-level data from Round 1 only, focusing on demographics,
household composition, employment, and health insurance. |

| | | Data Collection Notes: | The principal investigator notes that the data in
Public Use Tape 11 are released prior to final cleaning and editing, in
order to provide prompt access to the NMES data by the research and
policy community. The racial/ethnic distribution includes American
Indians (N = 5,734), Alaska Natives (N = 629), Whites (N = 647), and
other (N = 48). The age distribution is 0-22 years (N = 3,485), 23-54
years (N = 2,718), 55-64 years (N = 435), and 65+ years (N = 433).
Additional documentation including data collection instrument, data
collection methods, and variance estimation procedures are available
from ICPSR on request. This collection is superseded by NATIONAL

| | | | Sample: | Multistage area probability design, using an Indian Health
Service frame of counties with eligible individuals. An initial
screening interview was completed in 13,700 dwelling units in those
counties, yielding 1,950 households with at least one (self-defined)
eligible person responding for the full year. Data were collected on
7,071 persons in the eligible dwelling units, of whom 6,557 also met
criteria for person-level eligibility. |
