Annotation Calculate the percentage of unique MSIS IDs with unspecified or unknown ethnicity of all unique MSIS IDs with ethnicity information

2. ENROLLMENT-END-DATE >= last day of the DQ report month OR missing

3. MSIS-IDENTIFICATION-NUM is not missing



STEP 2: Ethnicity information on the last day of DQ report month

Using the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 1, join to segment ETHNICITY-INFORMATION-ELG00015 by keeping active records that satisfy the following criteria:

1a. ETHNICITY-DECLARATION-EFF-DATE <= last day of the DQ report month

2a. ETHNICITY-DECLARATION-END-DATE >= last day of the DQ report month OR missing

OR

1b. ETHNICITY-DECLARATION-EFF-DATE is missing

2b. ETHNICITY-DECLARATION-END-DATE is missing



STEP 3: Unknown ethnicity

Of the MSIS IDs that meet the criteria from STEP 2, further restrict them by the following criteria:

1. ETHNICITY-CODE does not equal ( "0","1","2","3","4", or "5") or is missing*



STEP 4: Percentage

Divide the count from STEP 3 by the count in STEP 1





*Note: This can include MSIS IDs from STEP 1 that did not join to an ethnicity information segment.
