Abstract: In this brief we describe an important decision that should be considered in analyses of health insurance coverage using survey data: Defining the "family unit" for examining insurance coverage, often called the health insurance unit. We propose a general definition of the health insurance unit and provide Stata and SAS code to facilitate implementing that definition.
