title: Segmenting the senior health care market.
abstract: This paper addresses the issue of health market segment comparisons for the senior population. The analysis demonstrates how initial self-assessed health comparisons among three racial/ethnic categories can be adjusted to reflect compositional (age and income) differences among the three groups. The adjustments provide additional insight into the nature of these segments.
