This project sub-task is a continuation of an earlier task order project (Contract Number 500-00-0024, Task 8) Health Disparities: Measuring Health Care Use and Access for Racial/Ethnic Populations (2005) intended to identify race/ethnic disparities in the use of selected Medicare covered services. This sub-task has two objectives. The first is to create and validate an acceptable measure of socioeconomic status (SES) that could be incorporated into further analyses of health care disparities among the racial/ethnic groups participating in the Medicare program. The second objective is to prepare tabulations (using an improved race/ethnicity measure created in the earlier project) that incorporate the SES variable (as well as age and gender) in such a way, that differences in utilization associated with race/ethnicity are highlighted while the effects of the aforementioned covariates are controlled or held constant.
