Article Synopsis
- The research analyzed how well the propensity score method compares responses from proxy-completed surveys to self-completed ones in the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey from 1998-2000.
- Using this method, they matched responses based on individual characteristics and found it reduced differences between the two types of responses.
- However, some noticeable disparities remained in certain demographic data, activities of daily living, chronic conditions, and depression screening despite the adjustments.
