A national survey concluded that while many consumers are making changes to their insurance policies in an effort to save money, they may not be fully informed about the consequences of those changes to their risk exposure.

The survey, sponsored by the independent agent branding campaign Trusted Choice and the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of America, found that close to 39 million households in the United States either have or are considering making changes to their insurance plans. Of those surveyed, 60 percent blamed the nation's economy for their decision.

The survey of 1,021 households was conducted via telephone by International Communications Research, an independent research company based in Media, Pa. The survey has an error factor of plus or minus 3 percent.
