Differences in TRICARE Knowledge from Department of Defense Active Duty Family Member Beneficiaries,

Abstract

Differences in Active Duty Family Member (ADFM) self-reported knowledge of the Department of Defense's TRICARE program, were investigated. The sample includes ADFMs residing in TRICARE regions 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12 (n = 3,612) and their responses to the 1996 Health Care Survey of Department of Defense (DoD) Beneficiaries (HCSDB). Self-reported knowledge of TRICARE, use of beneficiary marketing and educational methods, and enrollment in TRICARE Prime were investigated. Statistically significant relationships were found to exist between: ADFM TRICARE program knowledge and: (a) the number of methods used to learn about TRICARE t(3590) = 40.S3, p < .0001 and (b) the type of method used to produce the highest levels of self reported TRICARE knowledge (p less than .0001).
