Abstract: Achieving better health and reducing health care costs requires individuals to take an active role in their health care and utilize primary and preventive care services. CMS OMH launched C2C in June 2014 to address these needs. To accomplish these goals, C2C offers a variety of consumer-oriented health and health insurance educational materials that have various distribution channels, including print and digital. An evaluation was previously conducted under this OMB number assessing the reach and use of these materials. The current reinstatement proposal seeks to extend this work with a smaller survey of consumers (N=400) and partner organizations (N=60) to compare those who do and do not use C2C materials in three to four geographic areas where there is a high saturation of C2C materials, as well as the health impacts of using these materials.

Short Statement: The research activities proposed for reinstatement are a subset of, and similar to, the previously approved activities; however, the proposed activities are smaller in scope. The previously approved activities included two case studies (semi-structured interview and focus group), while the activities proposed for reinstatement only consist of the partner and consumer surveys. Also, a smaller number of survey participants are proposed for the partner (600 vs. 60) and consumer (2800 vs. 400) surveys. The average burden is 20 minutes for all surveys. Following from the proposed activities representing a smaller number of surveys and the same burden hours per survey, survey costs were much higher for the prior partner ($12,117.60 vs. $1001.29) and consumer ($35,610 vs. $4,262.28) surveys.
