2022 SIPP: Reasons Did Not Have Private and/or Public Health Insurance Coverage

The variables describing the reason a person did not have health insurance coverage for at least one month are not being released on the 2022 public-use file. The variables not released include: EYNOPRI_CON, EYNOPRI_COV, EYNOPRI_ELG, EYNOPRI_ELS, EYNOPRI_EXP, EYNOPRI_HTH, EYNOPRI_MIS, EYNOPRI_OTH, EYNOPRI_UNH, EYNOPUB_CON, EYNOPUB_ELG, EYNOPUB_ELS, EYNOPUB_HTH, EYNOPUB_MIS, EYNOPUB_OTH, and EYNOPUB_UNH. These variables had small sample sizes and relatively high imputation rates. We suspect high imputation rates partly reflect challenges within the instrument in accurately determining when a respondent was without a given type of coverage during the reference period.
