MarketScan Health Risk Assessment Database
- Description
MarketScan is one of the largest and longest running proprietary US claims databases used for healthcare research. The data come from a selection of large employers, health plans, and government and public organizations. The database includes de-identified, patient-level longitudinal data for nearly 300 million unique patients, using data from several domains.
The Health Risk Assessment Database comprises self-reported biometric and behavioral health data derived from surveys completed by employees of large corporations. It links with the Commercial Database by enrollee identifier and contains variables reflective of biometric information, self-assessed health, mental health, productivity, health behaviors, and intent to change behavior. Medical and drug claims, as well as enrollment records, are linked with health risk responses. Because of variation across employers in the design and content of the HRA questionnaires, there are many questions for which only a subset of the employees in the pooled database provided responses.
