Mashup Score: 1Healthcare Cost Literacy: Exploration of Concept and Initial Development of a Novel Tool in a Representative U.S. Adult Population - 5 month(s) ago
There is a growing need for understanding and addressing the issue of healthcare cost literacy (HCL) in the United States. We conducted a survey in partnership with YouGov targeting a representative sample of 1500 American adults (median age 47, 51.4% female, 62.8% white) to help develop a novel tool to assess the prevalence of HCL, and to estimate levels of HCL and health literacy across various sociodemographic and health-related variables. An exploratory factor analysis revealed that the HCL questions mapped to three factors: 1) knowledge on health insurance terminology/interpretation, 2) ability to estimate healthcare costs ahead of time, and 3) confidence in performing cost comparisons between healthcare plans and deductibles.
