 New York SHAP Grantee Chartbook

Introduction
This chartbook of health insurance coverage estimates is designed to be an easily accessed resource for
State Health Access Program (SHAP) grantees. Estimates for key population groups within your state
are provided in summary map format, with detailed tables for reference. Data provided in this
chartbook are from the 2008 American Community Survey (ACS).

Your chartbook includes the following information for your state:

 Maps of uninsurance estimates for children and adults, as well as children and adults under
200% FPL
 Tables of health insurance coverage estimates for the above mentioned population groups, with
variance information
 County-level estimates of uninsurance
 Demographic profiles of state populations

Summary Statistics
Any source of health insurance coverage for New York is shown in Exhibit 1. In 2008, 86.7% of the total
population age 0-64 had health insurance coverage. Over two thirds (70.2%) had private coverage,
while 19.4% reported having government coverage. This is in contrast to individuals under 200% of the
Federal Poverty Level (FPL), of which only 77.7% had insurance, with 34.9% having private coverage, and
47.3% having government coverage.

Note: Those who report multiple types of insurance coverage (i.e., private or public) are
included in each category; therefore, totals may add to more than 100 percent.

Maps and Data Tables

Detailed uninsurance estimates begin with Exhibit 2.1. Each subpopulation is shown as a map, followed
by a detailed table. The estimates in the tables provide percent and standard error (for calculation of
confidence intervals). Additional subgroup estimates are available upon request.

* Statistically different from the state uninsurance estimate for people age 0-64 (13.3%).
Note: Sub-state estimates are typically collections of counties and reflect the lowest level of
geography available for a single year of ACS data. In most metro areas sub-county estimates are
available, but where possible the sub-county estimates are aggregated to the county. In some of
these cases the aggregations do not exactly match county boundaries; this typically occurs in metro
areas and affects a very small geographic area.

Appendix A. Technical Assistance Available from SHADAC

SHADAC has a contract with Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at Health and Human
Services (HHS) to provide technical assistance to states that have received State Health Access Program
(SHAP) grants. This includes support for data collection, analysis and evaluation related to their SHAP
project work. A summary of assistance is provided below. Questions and requests can be directed to
Elizabeth Lukanen at 612-626-1537 or elukanen@umn.edu.

Data Assistance
Several SHADAC resources are available to help SHAP grantees access and utilize data relating to health
insurance coverage estimates, access to care, and understanding available data-specific technical
assistance resources. Resources include: SHADAC’s Data Center, an online table and chart generator;
issue briefs and technical briefs; and information on how to access microdata.
Web page: http://www.shadac.org/shap/technical-assistance/data

HRSA Benchmarks
SHADAC will also assist states in reporting HSRA benchmark data.
Web page: http://www.shadac.org/shap/technical-assistance/HRSA-Benchmarks

Evaluation
SHADAC staff are available to help SHAP grantees refine and implement evaluation plans, to ensure the
fidelity and success of SHAP-funded programs.
Web page: http://www.shadac.org/shap/technical-assistance/evaluations

Surveys
SHADAC has a variety of resources to help SHAP grantees conduct survey research and apply the results
to relevant audiences. SHADAC’s technical assistance can facilitate the sharing of information and
expertise among grantees, help policy makers understand the unique characteristics of state sub-
populations, and provide assistance in developing survey tools and methods.

Web page: http://www.shadac.org/shap/technical-assistance/surveys

State Reform Research and Strategies

SHADAC has provided evaluative information on health reform initiatives in states participating in the
State Health Access Reform Evaluation (SHARE) program. Many of these evaluations provide descriptive
information that may be useful for SHAP grantees.

Appendix B. Data Source

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2008 American Community Survey (ACS). Calculations by SHADAC.
Estimates for the ACS exclude military but include non-institutionalized group quarters such as
college/university housing, group homes intended for adults, residential treatment facilities for adults,
workers’ group living quarters and Job Corps centers, and religious group quarters.

Population counts are presented in thousands.

Definitions: '%' = Percent; 'SE' = Standard error as a percent. Confidence intervals can be calculated
from the standard errors; for example, the 95% confidence interval is ±(1.96 * SE).

Insurance coverage note: Listed Medicaid rates include SCHIP and state-specific public programs. Those
who report multiple types of insurance coverage (i.e., private or public) are included in each category;
therefore, row totals may add to more than 100 percent. Active duty military coverage (e.g., TRICARE) is
considered employer-sponsored insurance, while VA coverage is considered government coverage.

ACS methodology note: The ACS asks respondents about their health insurance coverage at the time of
the interview.
For technical documentation on the ACS please visit http://www.shadac.org/content/acs-info-and-
resources.
