Product Description:

Using 2002-2008 data from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Household Component, we conducted logistic regression analyses to examine associations of USC with race/ethnicity after controlling for demographic factors (sex, age, marital status, education, region) and economic factors (insurance, employment, family income). All analyses accounted for the complex survey design of MEPS. Compared to non-Hispanic whites with disabilities, adults of color with disabilities were less likely to have a USC without adjusting for any factors (unadjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.71-0.89 for Blacks; 0.50, 95% CI = 0.45-0.55 for Hispanics; OR=0.69, 95% CI = 0.54-0.88 for Asian/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders [AHPI]). After controlling for demographic and economic factors, disparities remained for Hispanics (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.71, 95% CI = 0.62-0.80) and AHPI (AOR= 0.65, 95% CI = 0.50-0.84) but not for Blacks.
