This protocol was intended to (1) design a research tool (simulation model) to facilitate group decision making and (2) utilize this tool to examine how patients enrolled in managed care organizations would choose to define their health insurance benefit package. Thus far, the study instrument has been designed and has been pilot tested. The study design has been completed. Study subjects were recruited and 50 group exercises have been conducted. Data collection was complete on June 23, 2000. Data are being processed and data analysis has been completed. A manuscript has been published. The tool has been developed into a computer-based exercise which has been copyrighted by the University of Michigan with joint ownership by the NIH.
