Assessing Asset Data on Low-Income Households: Current Availability and Options for Improvement
(Report)
|
Author(s): Caroline Ratcliffe, Henry Chen, Trina Williams Shanks, Yunju Nam, Mark Schreiner, Min Zhan, Michael Sherraden |
Organization(s): Urban Institute |
This report identifies three data sets as the most reliable and informative data sources for understanding low-income households' assets and liabilities: the Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF), the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), and the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). The report also details the limitations of these data sets and provides options for improving asset data sources and collection methods. In doing so, the report provides a framework for refining the primary sources of data necessary to pursuing future research in the assets field. |

Development of an Assistive Technology and Environmental Assessment Instrument for National Surveys: Final Report
(Report)
|
Author(s): Vicki A. Freedman, Emily M. Agree, Jennifer C. Cornman and Lisa Landsberg |
Organization(s): University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Polisher Research Institute |
The purpose of this project was to develop, pilot, and disseminate a set of instruments for national surveys to measure the use of assistive technology and the environments in which they are used. The project focused on older adults living in the community. The instruments have been designed as a series of modules that can be adopted in whole or part as part of a computer-assisted telephone interview. Part I of this report presents the recommended 8-10 minute instrument (consisting of 5 modules) and a briefer 2-3 minute instrument (consisting of a single module). Part II presents results from the pilot test for the recommended items. [187 PDF pages] |

Extending the Utility of Federal Data Bases
(Report)
|
Author(s): Joseph Waksberg, Daniel Levine, David Marker |
Organization(s): Westat |
These two reports assess the capability of several federal surveys to provide data on major subgroups of Hispanic and Asian or Pacific Islanders (e.g. Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, Chinese, and Filipinos) and on American Indian or Alaska Natives (AIANs). The Task 2 Report: Inventory of Selected Existing Federal Databases, May 2000, contains an inventory of major databases used by HHS analysts with information about how the race/ethnicity response categories were designed, interviewing policies, sample sizes, and publication policies. The Task 3 Report: Extending the Utility of Federal Databases, May 2000, assesses the ability of the databases to provide data of adequate precision on selected Hispanic and API subgroups and AIANs. The report also suggests and evaluates methods to enhance the ability of surveys to provide reasonably reliable statistics about these populations. |

Brookings/ICF Long-Term Care Financing Model: Designing and Using Model Simulations
(Report)
|
Author(s): Lisa Maria B. Alecxih and David L. Kennell |
Organization(s): Lewin-ICF |
This report describes the simulations which have been performed with the Brookings/ICF Long Term Care Financing Model. It presents a base case projection which assumes that current public programs and private financing remain unchanged. In addition, the report contains simulations of various measures to promote the growth of private long-term care insurance and to expand/create public programs. |

Brookings/ICF Long-Term Care Financing Model: Programmer's/Operator's Manual
(Report)
|
Author(s): Peter Robertshaw and Lisa Maria B. Alecxih |
Organization(s): Lewin-ICF |
The Brookings/ICF Long Term Care Financing Model is available to interested researchers. However, access to a mainframe computer and significant amounts of computer time are required. The computer tape containing the code of the model and associated input data can be purchased through NTIS. Two volumes of documentation have been prepared for those who have a serious interest in learning how to use the model. This report provides information on the structure of the computer program.

Brookings/ICF Long-Term Care Financing Model: Model Assumptions
(Report)
|
Author(s): David L. Kennell, Lisa Maria B. Alecxih, Joshua M. Wiener and Raymond J. Hanley |
Organization(s): Lewin Group |
This report provides pertinent details about the variables, data, and equations on which the Brookings/ICF Long Term Care Financing Model is based. It is designed for those interested in learning precisely how the model generates its results. The Brookings/ICF Long Term Care Financing Model is a microsimulation model which ages a large file of individuals over the period 1986-2020 and computes their long-term care use and expenditures.

Clinical Baseline Assessment Instrument Set
(Report)
|
Author(s): Temple University |
Organization(s): Temple University |
The National Long-Term Care Demonstration Clinical Baseline Assessment Instrument (C-BAI) is a modification of the original clinical and research baseline assessment instrument used in the demonstration. The instrument was used to conduct face-to-face interviews of elderly clients who wanted to remain in their own homes. Assessment interviews usually took 1-1½ hours to complete. Two versions of the form were used: one for clients being interviewed in their community residence and one for clients being interviewed in an institution. This set includes both institutional and community versions of the instrument and a training manual designed to introduce workers to the instrument. [68 PDF pages] |
