This webinar provided an overview of the 2017 health insurance coverage estimates from two key, large-scale federal data sources: the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS).

The presentation examined the recently released estimates from each survey with technical insight from experts at the U.S. Census Bureau - which administers both the ACS and CPS - and from SHADAC researchers.
 
Attendees learned about:
  • The new 2017 national and state coverage estimates
  • When to use which estimates from which survey
  • How to access the estimates via Census reports and American FactFinder
  • How to access state-level estimates from the ACS using SHADAC tables
SHADAC researchers and Census experts also answered questions from attendees after the presentation.
