  • Estimating Regression Standard Errors with Data from the Current Population Survey's Public Use File

    Open AccessMichael Davern, Arthur Jones et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2007

    This study examines whether reasonable standard errors for multivariate models can be calculated using the public use file of the Current Population Survey's Annual Social and Economic Supplement (CPS ASEC). We restrict our analysis to the 2003 CPS ASEC and model three dependent variables at the individual level. income, poverty, and health insurance coverage. We compare standard error estimates performed on the CPS ASEC public use file with thos…

  • Unstable Inferences? An Examination of Complex Survey Sample Design Adjustments Using the Current Population Survey for Health Services Research

    Open AccessMichael Davern, Arthur Jones et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2006

    Statistical analysis of the Current Population Survey's Annual Social and Economic Supplement is used widely in health services research. However, the statistical evidence cited from the Current Population Survey (CPS) is not always consistent because researchers use a variety of methods to produce standard errors that are fundamental to significance tests. This analysis examines the 2002 Annual Social and Economic Supplement's (ASEC) estimates o…

  • Social and Physical Environments and Disparities in Risk for Cardiovascular Disease

    Open AccessAmy J Schulz, Srimathi Kannan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Health Perspectives2005

    The Healthy Environments Partnership (HEP) is a community-based participatory research effort investigating variations in cardiovascular disease risk, and the contributions of social and physical environments to those variations, among non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, and Hispanic residents in three areas of Detroit, Michigan. Initiated in October 2000 as a part of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences' Health Disparities…

  • Telephone Service Interruption Weighting Adjustments for State Health Insurance Surveys

    Open AccessMichael Davern, James M Lepkowski et al.ARTICLEINQUIRY The Journal of Health…2004

    Many states rely on telephone surveys to produce estimates of uninsurance. To the extent that people in households without telephones differ from those living in households with telephones, estimates will be biased due to lack of coverage of those in households without telephones. We find the disparity in estimates of uninsurance in the Current Population Survey (all people vs. those living in households without telephones) shows a similar associ…

  • Characteristics of Adolescents' Sexual Partners and Their Association with Use of Condoms and Other Contraceptive Methods

    Kathleen Ford, Woosung Sohn et al.ARTICLEFamily Planning Perspectives2001

    CONTEXT: While a number of studies have examined the association between individuals' characteristics and their contraceptive use, few studies have examined the influence of partners' characteristics on individuals' contraceptive use. METHODS: Using nationally representative data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, multiple logistic analyses were conducted to identify associations between the demographic characteristics of …

  • HMO Marketing and Selection Bias

    Richard Lichtenstein, J W Thomas et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1992

    The research evidence indicates that health maintenance organizations (HMOs) participating in the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) At-Risk Program tend to experience favorable selection. Although favorable selection might result from patient decisions, a common conjecture is that it can be induced by HMOs through their marketing activities. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between HMO marketing stra…

  • Selection Bias in Tefra At-Risk HMOs

    Richard Lichtenstein, J W Thomas et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1991

    The issue of selection bias was investigated using data from 22 HMOs who are enrolling Medicare beneficiaries under Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 (TEFRA) at-risk contracts. The study differs from previously published analyses of this issue in that it deals with the current Medicare risk program (TEFRA) rather than with earlier Demonstration Programs; as an indicator of selection bias, it utilizes beneficiary functional health s…
