Abstract

A study to determine which method, video or pamphlet, of providing Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) information to beneficiaries is more effective in increasing beneficiary knowledge of the CHAMPUS program. The Solomon Four - Group Design was used in conjunction with a 16 question survey instrument to collect and record data for the study. The data was statistically analyzed via the Mann Whitney U Test and the Kruskal - Wallis K Test. Demographic data was shown in the form of frequency and percentage information. The results of the study showed that the difference between providing CHAMPUS information via the pamphlet or the videotape was statistically not significant. The difference between providing CHAMPUS information via the pamphlet and videotape and not providing information was shown to be statistically significant. The statistical analysis was performed at the alpha .05 level of significance.
