"Medicare Advantage Plan Choice and Selection among Vulnerable Seniors"
The research focuses on two specific aims: 1) To analyze choice of alternative Medicare Advantage plans among racial and ethnic groups; and 2) To qualitatively characterize elements that are needed to determine better choice of plan among seniors. The Center for Gerontology and Healthcare Research and the Department of Health Services Policy and Practice at Brown University offers an outstanding environment for scientific research in Gerontology and Health Services Research.
