| Description |
This supplement combines new questions with some questions previously asked in the BK and BN supplements. Some of the original questions resulted from the need to measure beneficiaries' knowledge about new options to the Medicare program in response to the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. The data collected in this supplement will allow an evaluation of the impact of existing education initiatives by CMS. The KN section will also help to refine future CMS education initiatives by asking about information that beneficiaries may need, preferred sources for this information, and beneficiaries' access to insurance information. This data also presents the knowledge beneficiaries have gained from CMS publications. NOTE: The KN Supplement was conducted in the January through April 2006 interview period. As a result, there is a discrepancy in the number of records. This record count variance is attributed to the retiring of a panel and natural attrition. |
