abstract: 'To compare insured youth (age 15-25 years) with and without disabilities
|
|
|
|
on risk of insurance loss. We conducted a cross-sectional study using
|
|
|
|
data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation 2001.
|
|
|
|
Descriptive statistics characterized insured youth who maintained and
|
|
|
|
lost insurance for at least 3 months over a 3-year time frame. We
|
|
|
|
conducted logistic regression to calculate the association between
|
|
|
|
disability and insurance loss. Adjustment variables were gender, race,
|
|
|
|
ethnicity, age, work or school status, poverty status, type of insurance
|
|
|
|
at study onset, state generosity, and an interaction between disability
|
|
|
|
and insurance type. This study includes 2,123 insured youth without
|
|
|
|
disabilities, 320 insured youth with non-severe disabilities, and 295
|
|
|
|
insured youth with severe disabilities. Thirty-six percent of insured
|
|
|
|
youth without disabilities lost insurance compared to 43\% of insured
|
|
|
|
youth with non-severe disabilities and 41\% of insured youth with severe
|
|
|
|
disabilities (P = .07). Youth with non-severe disabilities on public
|
|
|
|
insurance have an estimated 61\% lower odds of losing insurance (OR:
|
|
|
|
0.39; 95\% CI: 0.16, 0.93; P = .03) compared to youth without
|
|
|
|
disabilities on public insurance. Further, youth with severe
|
|
|
|
disabilities on public insurance have an estimated 81\% lower odds of
|
|
|
|
losing insurance (OR: 0.19; 95\% CI: 0.09, 0.40; P < .001) compared to
|
|
|
|
youth without disabilities. When examining youth with private insurance,
|
|
|
|
we find that youth with severe disabilities have 1.63 times higher odds
|
|
|
|
(OR: 1.63; 95\% CI: 1.03, 2.57; P = .04) of losing health insurance
|
|
|
|
compared to youth without disabilities. Insurance type interacts with
|
|
|
|
disability severity to affect odds of insurance loss among insured
|
|
|
|
youth.'
