- Abstract:
- Researchers from the State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) at the University of Minnesota compiled Mississippi data from the 2017 United States Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) at the request of the Center for Mississippi Health Policy. The ACS asks a representative sample of households about their health insurance coverage. This chartbook summarizes the responses provided by nonelderly (19 through 64 years of age) Mississippi adults. This chartbook also includes a summary of the responses provided by Mississippi employers who were asked about health insurance offered in 2017. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) conducts the survey, known as the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). A related fact sheet (see image on the left) detailing the number, percentage, and trend of nonelderly uninsured adults for each county in Mississippi is also available at www. mshealthpolicy.com.
