PCC was devised to move away from the paternalistic biomedical model of medicine. However, consideration of the physician-as-person has been removed from the current conceptual framework of PCC and patients have not been consulted in its formulation. During investigation of complaint cases for the overseas US population, a trend was noted that seemed to suggest that difference in culture that impacted the patient experience. This was evident in complaint cases where care was provided exactly in line with current clinical guidelines, but the experience of care by the patient was poor. Patient Reported Experience Measures have international recognition as a way of measuring quality of care but most are developed for a single healthcare system and not tested across different cultures. Evidence regarding crosscultural experience from the patients’ perspective is lacking but evidence from patients in ethno-cultural studies show that there are important cultural factors to consider in medical consultations. We will be exploring US patients experience of care abroad through interviews and focus groups to identify factors that can be used either to support training for physicians to enhance their cultural competency, or measurement of quality.

UOCAVA requires a statistical analysis report to the President and Congress on the effectiveness of assistance under the Act, a statistical analysis of voter participation, and a description of State/ Federal cooperation. The data obtained through this study will allow FVAP to refine its methodology for estimating the number of overseas U.S. civilians who are eligible to vote and who have registered and participated in the past, and using these estimates to address the question of whether the registration and voting propensity of the overseas civilian population differs from that of a comparable domestic or military population. Conducting this research will help FVAP meet its Federal and congressional mandates in terms of reporting annually on its activities and on overall voter registration and participation rates after each Presidential election. The data obtained through this study is also intended to provide insights into existing barriers to UOCAVA voting and recommendations for addressing these challenges.

After each Presidential election year, FVAP must report voter registration and participation rates for uniformed service voters and overseas citizens to Congress; while FVAP collects data for this report through regular surveys of uniformed service voters and other relevant UOCAVA populations, it does not currently collect data from non-military, non-government overseas civilians.

    The UOCAVA requires the States to allow Uniformed Services 
personnel, their family members, and overseas citizens to use absentee 
registration procedures and to vote by absentee ballot in general, 
special, primary, and runoff elections for Federal offices. The Act 
covers members of the Uniformed Services and the merchant marine to 
include the commissioned corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration and Public Health Service and their eligible dependents, 
Federal civilian employees overseas, and overseas U.S. citizens not 
affiliated with the Federal Government. After each Presidential 
election year, FVAP must report voter registration and participation 
rates for uniformed service voters and overseas citizens to Congress; 
while FVAP collects data for this report through regular surveys of 
uniformed service voters and other relevant UOCAVA populations, it does 
not currently collect data from non-military, non-government overseas 
civilians. Previous attempts to collect information on the overseas 
citizen's population to identify and measure its voter registration and 
participation rates in Federal elections suffered from significant 
bias; the Overseas Citizens Population Survey is focused on refining a 
prototype method to report voter registration and participation rates 
from a more well-defined subgroup of overseas civilians.
