SHADAC hosted a webinar on Thursday, September 29, 2022 that provided an overview of 2011 health insurance coverage estimates from two key, large-scale federal data sources: The American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS).

This webinar examined the new estimates at both the national and state levels, as well as by coverage type, 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 2021 national and state coverage estimates
• When to use which estimates from which survey
• How to access the estimates via Census reports and the data.census.gov website
• 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.
