U.S. Adult Healthcare Engagement Survey on Disability and Social Networks

Hyun-Jun Kim's dataset contains survey data from 335 U.S. adults aged 21–83, collected via an online survey.

Use Cases

• Modeling predictors of having a usual source of care based on informal health information network size.
• Analyzing the interaction between disability status and living arrangements on access to a personal doctor.
• Investigating how intimate network size relates to routine checkup utilization among adults with disabilities living alone.

Strengths

• Includes data from 335 U.S. adults, providing a specific sample size.
• Assesses healthcare engagement through three distinct indicators: usual source of care, personal doctor, and routine checkups.
• Examines a three-way interaction between social connectedness, disability status, and living arrangements.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to online survey platforms.
