aRepresent model-based predictions (using the model results shown in Multimedia Appendix 3 and Multimedia Appendix 4) of the weekly outcomes. These comparisons use the 2014 and 2015 open enrollment periods to estimate how much activity was attributable to advertising. Calls and Marketplace enrollment are not included because neither kynect nor insurance company advertising during open enrollment had a significant effect on these outcomes.
