DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this project is to develop new methods for collecting and analyzing data on the information and perceptions of older Americans on health care policies and products, and methods for measuring their resulting behavior and well-being. At an applied level, the research will address three current policy and measurement problems: 1) What are the perceptions of older Americans regarding the Medicare Part D prescription drug program, and what benefit plans meeting the actuarial requirements of the program do they prefer? 2) What are their perceptions regarding in-home care and assisted living options and costs, and their perceived needs and preferences? 3) How well can they rate disability levels using World Health Organization vignettes, and are the resulting scales predictive for perceptions of need for assisted living? At a methodological level, the research will develop and test methods for eliciting data on perceptions and preferences in aging populations. In particular, we will examine the effect of age on respondent's ability to understand and identify with hypothetical individuals and products, and study the use of experiments embedded within our primary data collection designs to detect and compensate for response errors. We will test the applicability of market research methods as tools for designing and evaluating health care products.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目的目的是开发新方法，以收集和分析老年美国人对医疗保健政策和产品的信息和看法的数据，以及衡量其所产生的行为和幸福感的方法。在应用水平上，研究将解决三个当前的政策和衡量问题：1）老年人对Medicare D Perfercription药物计划的看法是什么，以及满足他们喜欢该计划的精算要求的哪些福利计划？ 2）他们对家庭护理，辅助生活选择和成本以及他们的需求和偏好的看法是什么？ 3）他们如何使用世界卫生组织的小插曲对残疾水平进行评分，并且对辅助生活需求的看法提供了预测的量表？在方法论层面，该研究将开发和测试方法，以获取有关衰老人群的感知和偏好的数据。特别是，我们将研究年龄对受访者理解和识别假设个体和产品的能力的影响，并研究嵌入我们主要数据收集设计中的实验以检测和补偿响应错误。我们将测试市场研究方法的适用性，作为设计和评估医疗保健产品的工具。
