Summary
The overall purpose of the study is to better understand how the investigators previously developed decision support (DS) tool can help people make decisions about health insurance plans available through the federal exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The investigators will evaluate the DS tool compared to the federal government website. The investigators will also evaluate the feasibility of disseminating this tool. There are two primary aims to be completed in this project: (1) examine the reach and effectiveness of the health insurance DS tool; and (2) collect stakeholders' feedback to improve the likelihood of implementation of the DS tool.
