Revision date: 04/07/2016

MedCon:PreEvent is designed to estimate the baseline medical care needs of a displaced population following a disaster due to pre-existing medical conditions. We used the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data to estimate the number of persons with pre-existing conditions.

This version has been updated from MedCon: Pre-Event Version 1.0. The previous version of MedCon:PreEvent was based on the data from NHIS, 2006. MedCon: Pre-Event Version 2.0 was developed using data from NHIS, 2014. The methods and analysis presented in Version 2.0 are the same as those in Version 1.0. We developed this updated version to ensure that the pre- existing medical condition estimates closely reflects the current US population. It is also more desirable to use recently available data, so that public health preparedness planners and policy makers will be better prepared to address the public health needs of potential disasters.

Note: Estimates in Version 2.0 are updated from Version 1.0 using data from National Health Interview Survey, 2014. Version 1.0 used National Health Interview Survey, 2006).
