Project Title: Outcomes of Implementing Health Insurance Education at a University
We sincerely appreciate your time and involvement in our study on health insurance education. This project, led by Rachel Panak under the guidance of Dr. Holly Buchanan at James Madison University, aims to improve confidence and knowledge in navigating health insurance. By participating, you’ve helped us evaluate different educational approaches and their impact on understanding common insurance terms, making informed healthcare decisions, and ultimately improving health outcomes. Your contributions are valuable in shaping future efforts to make health insurance more accessible and understandable for university and rural populations. All responses will remain confidential, and findings will be presented as general trends without identifying information. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about the study’s results, please feel free to reach out. Your participation helps drive positive change in health education.
