Abstract: In the Public Information Campaign, an SSA contractor mails out the business reply cards following the mailing of public information materials. The contractor combines the results from the business reply cards and provides them to SSA. In turn, SSA uses this information to determine what media format and what markets the public broadcast media aired the materials. Ultimately, this will enable SSA to improve their public information materials. The respondents are broadcast television sources. We are discontinuing the inclusion of radio stations in the distribution list, due to the high volume of interest for audio products via the internet.
