- Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Experiences With Cancer Supplement
The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Experiences with Cancer Supplement provides detailed data on cancer survivorship issues related to financial burden, access to medical care, employment patterns for survivors and their caregivers, and other aspects of productivity losses. The supplement was fielded for the first time in 2011–2013 and will be re-fielded in 2016–2018. The updated supplement will add questions related to access to care and health insurance relevant to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. The MEPS sample is drawn from a subsample of the prior year NHIS sample.
