To explore the effectiveness of health-insurance literacy interventions and provide specific recommendations for diabetes practice.
Key Findings:
Effective interventions address specific learning needs and literacy levels, leading to improved health outcomes.
Diverse methods include web-based aids, virtual sessions, hands-on support, Serious Games, workshops, and online toolkits, each with unique benefits.
Interpretation:
Low health-insurance literacy among individuals with diabetes contributes to financial stress and barriers to optimal self-management, highlighting the urgent need for targeted educational interventions.
Limitations:
Lack of consistent measures for health insurance literacy across programs limits comparability.
Focus limited to studies conducted in the United States may affect the applicability of findings to other contexts.
Conclusion:
Evidence-based solutions, such as integrating health insurance literacy interventions into diabetes care, are essential to improve health equity and close insurance coverage gaps for people with diabetes.
