Employer use of the STC option has been low in states with STC programs. We conducted demonstrations in Iowa and Oregon to evaluate the effectiveness of several interventions designed to increase employer awareness and use of STC, including disseminating information about STC to specific employers (members of the "treatment" group) over a 12-month period. The main findings support the hypothesis that lack of awareness is a major barrier to STC take-up and that informational campaigns can significantly increase awareness and use of the STC option.Noteauthors: Susan Houseman, Frank Bennici, Susan Labin, Katharine Abraham, Chris O'Leary, Richard Sigman ; prepared for: Chief Evaluation Office, U.S. Department of Labor ; prepared by: Westat, W.E.
