本研究的目的是考察联邦-州联合运动“拥有你的未来”的推广工作和影响，该运动旨在促进华盛顿州对长期护理（LTC）的认识和规划。本研究采用调查方法来评估活动传播的程度、其对长期医疗服务计划行为影响的证据，以及购买私人长期医疗服务保险的障碍。从随机选择的社区样本和华盛顿州雇员样本（51岁至71岁）中，共分析了3198份调查回复。结果表明，该活动的影响是有限的，无论是对活动本身的认识，还是对LTC规划行为的发起。定量数据显示，受访者普遍存在与健康相关的问题（如肥胖、糖尿病），对长期医疗服务相关的基本信息（如成本、支付方）了解不足，以及对购买长期医疗服务保险持消极态度。定性分析表明，受访者认为当前LTC保险行业存在与负担能力和问责制相关的重大问题。这些可能阻碍购买长期医疗保险的障碍表明，寻求抵消长期医疗公共成本的政策制定者需要解决的目标。
The purpose of this study was to examine the outreach effort and impact of a joint federal-state campaign, Own Your Future, promoting awareness and planning for long-term care (LTC) in the state of Washington. The study applied survey methodology to evaluate the extent of campaign dissemination, evidence of its impact on LTC planning behaviors, and barriers to purchasing private LTC insurance. A total of 3,198 survey responses from a randomly selected community sample and a Washington State employee sample (ages 51 to 71) were analyzed. Results indicated that the impact of the campaign was limited, both with respect to awareness of the campaign itself and to initiation of LTC planning behaviors. Quantitative data revealed a high prevalence of health-related problems (e.g., obesity, diabetes), inadequate knowledge of basic LTC-related information (e.g., cost, payers), and negative attitudes toward purchasing LTC insurance among respondents. Qualitative analyses suggested that respondents perceived significant problems related to affordability and accountability within the current LTC insurance industry. These possible barriers to the purchase of LTC insurance suggest targets to be addressed by policy makers seeking to find ways to offset the public costs of LTC.
