Social Marketing & Consumer Testing Item Bank
OMB Number: CMS-10437
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS)
Office of Communications, Division of Research
May 10, 2017
Questions in this item bank will be used to conduct consumer research to support and improve communication with diverse audiences that are affected by CMS initiatives and programs.
Before CMS disseminates program communications and messages to the public and other intended audiences consumer research is undertaken to better understand the target audience. A key feature of this work is developing an understanding of how consumers see the world - the “consumer reality.” Factors such as the age, sex, and ethnic background of participants are important, as are their attitudes, perceptions, values, culture, and knowledge. This understanding of the audience helps CMS craft preliminary versions of messages that aim to convey important characteristics of programs and benefits to consumers and other key target audiences. Additional testing is undertaken to help insure that the messages will be understood and that they will encourage people to take appropriate actions. Messages are typically tested on dimensions such as awareness, clarity, salience, appeal, and persuasiveness. This allows messages to be tailored to specific audience segments. Communication campaigns using the tailored messages are then launched. The effects of those campaigns are monitored to help gauge the impact of the communications and to identify areas for quality improvement.
The item battery in this package is designed to facilitate such testing by establishing a set of pre-approved generic questions that will allow for the rapid turn-around required for CMS to communicate more effectively with its audiences and assess the impact of communication campaigns. Questions from this Social Marketing & Consumer Research Item Bank will be drawn for use in studies that employ OMB-approved methods for data collection for key CMS audiences. The methods include telephone interviews, individual or small group in-depth/cognitive interviews, usability testing, focus groups, and online/web-based surveys.
The questions in the Social Marketing & Consumer Research Item Bank are divided into two major categories. Items in the Survey Item Bank are typically employed to identify characteristics of individuals and for structured use in quantitative online or telephone surveys. The following domains are represented:
Attitudes
Awareness
Behaviors
Decision Making
Demographics
Health Insurance Satisfaction
Health Status
Information Sources
Internet Use
Knowledge
Mobile Technology
Perceptions
Screening Questions
Items in the Qualitative Item Bank are typically used in less structured one on one and small group discussion formats. These items are more open ended and are often designed to elicit comments or discussion about specific topics or products. The following domains are represented:
Awareness
Behavior
Knowledge
Perceptions
Preferences
Usability
Sources of Information
General Questions
Activities
Items will be selected to meet the requirements for the specific research undertaken. In a typical study, items from the Demographic and Screening Questions will be used to identify appropriate individuals for the research. Core questions will be drawn from the specific domain categories to reflect the type of information needed from the participants. The relevant health topic, behavior, message, phrase, or organization will be inserted into the standard questions to provide the context for the information collection. Taken together, these will define the information collection instrument for that study. To facilitate monitoring of research undertaken as part of this generic clearance, the following information will be provided to OMB on a “Study Initiation Request Form” prior to study initiation:
Title of the project

Contact for lead researcher

Study Title:
Baseline Survey of Consumers without Health Insurance |
|
Description: The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will be implementing research to assist the Agency in developing communication materials to provide outreach to uninsured individuals. These individuals may be eligible for help paying for insurance costs through a number of mechanisms. To help identify themes and issues that are top priority for communicating with these audiences, CMS will conduct a telephone survey with uninsured individuals aimed at examining their current state of awareness, knowledge, and attitudes about health insurance. |
|
Lead Researcher: Clarese Astrin Office of Communication/Division of Research Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services 7500 Security Blvd Baltimore, MD 21244 410-786-5424 |
Audience Characteristics: 500 uninsured adults, age 21-60, throughout the United States |
Purpose of the Study: Examine current knowledge, awareness, and attitudes about health insurance among uninsured adults to assist with development of appropriately targeted outreach messaging. |
Methods to be Used: The data collection will be undertaken using CATI-based telephone survey methodology. |
Sample Size: We expect to interview 500 consumers for this research. The sample will be provided by Survey Sampling International as representative of US adult consumers. The sample draw will be sufficient to yield the required number of interviews for assuming a 20% response rate. Assuming a 20% response rate and a 50% eligibility rate, we plan to select approximately 2,100 sample cases. |
Items to be Included: SG1, SG2, ING1, ING3, ING4, ING6, ATG1, ATG2, ATG5, ATG6, ATG7, AWG1, AWG2, AWG5, BG1, BG2, BG3, BG8 [Etc.] |
Timeline: December 1, 20XX – January 10, 20XX
|
Estimated Burden Hours: 500 participants x 0.25 hours = 125 hours |
