In January 2013, the Urban Institute launched the Health Reform Monitoring Survey (HRMS), a survey of the nonelderly population, to explore the value of cutting-edge, Internet-based survey methods to monitor the Affordable Care Act (ACA) before data from federal government surveys are available. Topics covered by the 19th round of the survey (first quarter 2020) include self-reported health status, health insurance coverage, access to health care, trust in the health care system, use of public benefits, material hardship, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional information collected by the survey includes age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, education, race and ethnicity, United States citizenship, housing type, home ownership, internet access, income, and employment status.

Topics covered by the sixth round of the survey (second quarter 2014) include self-reported health status, type of and satisfaction with current health insurance coverage, access to and use of health care, health care affordability, awareness of key provisions of the ACA, opinions about the ACA, sources of information about the health plans in the ACA health insurance exchanges (healthcare.gov), the importance of various criteria in choosing health insurance plans, whether the respondent enrolled in health insurance through healthcare.gov, and how easy or hard it was to use healthcare.gov. Additional information collected by the survey includes income, employment status, age, education, race, gender, housing type, marital status, home ownership, internet access, ability to read and work with numbers, and sexual orientation. The data file also records whether the respondent reported an ambulatory care sensitive condition or reported a mental or behavioral health condition, and whether the respondent or a family member received unemployment insurance benefits or benefits though the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program, Earned Income Tax Credit, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or child care services or child care assistance from a local welfare agency or case manager.

Abstract (en): In January 2013, the Urban Institute launched the Health Reform Monitoring Survey (HRMS), a quarterly survey of the nonelderly population, to explore the value of cutting-edge, Internet-based survey methods to monitor the Affordable Care Act (ACA) before data from federal government surveys are available. Topics covered by the second round of the survey (second quarter 2013) include self-reported health status, type of and satisfaction with current health insurance coverage, access to and use of health care, health care affordability, whether the respondent considered purchasing or tried to purchase health insurance coverage directly from an insurance company, whether the respondent considered obtaining coverage through Medicaid or other government sponsored assistance plan based on income or disability, sources of information about health insurance, and the importance of various criteria in choosing a health insurance plan. Additional information collected by the survey includes age, education, race, Hispanic origin, gender, income, household size, housing type, marital status, employment status, number of employees at place of work, United States citizenship, smoking, internet access, home ownership, body mass index, sexual orientation, and whether the respondent reported an ambulatory care sensitive condition or a mental or behavioral condition. ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.. Response Rates: The HRMS response rate is roughly five percent each quarter. Datasets:DS0: Study-Level FilesDS1: Public-use DataDS2: Restricted-use Data Household population aged 18-64. Each quarterly HRMS sample is drawn from the KnowledgePanel, a probability-based, nationally representative Internet panel maintained by GfK Custom Research. Beginning with the second quarter of 2013, the HRMS includes oversamples of adults with family incomes at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level and adults from selected state groups based on (1) the potential for gains in insurance coverage in the state under the ACA as estimated by the Urban Institute's microsimulation model and (2) states of specific interest to the HRMS funders. Additional funders have supported oversamples of adults from individual states or subgroups of interest (including children). However, ICPSR received data only for the adults in the general national sample and the income and state group oversamples. 2019-07-10 Variable Q7_F was removed from public dataset. An updated codebook excluding this variable was provided for public use. Current release will feature DS1 as public-use data only and DS2 as restricted-use data. Previous release included both public and restricted versions of DS1. Study title updated to include geographic information.2017-06-20 The principal investigators added a new weight variable to the data file and the technical documentation was updated accordingly.2015-03-23 The principal investigators deleted the multiple imputation variables _1_famsize, _2_famsize, _3_famsize, _4_famsize and _5_famsize. ICPSR revised the codebook accordingly and added to the collection a plain text version of the data with a Stata setup and record layout file. Funding institution(s): Ford Foundation.
