- W2770518721 abstract "Within the existing health financing literature, males are typically categorized as the household‘s decision-makers. While this view accurately reflects many local sociocultural realities, approximately a quarter of sub-Saharan African households are now headed by females. In light of various efforts to expand health insurance coverage in the region, it is necessary to examine whether the factors influencing voluntary health insurance enrolment are analogous across male- and female-headed households. This study sought to identify the gendered determinants of voluntary enrolment into a church-run micro health insurance scheme. A cross-sectional survey of 550 households was carried out in Bui and Donga-Mantung Divisions of North-West Cameroon in May 2016. A structured questionnaire was administered on health insurance membership, household attributes, headship characteristics and health-seeking behaviour. We assessed the influence of gender on the associations between health insurance enrolment and the explanatory variables using logistic regression. This study found that voluntary health insurance demand was influenced by involvement in social networks regardless of gender. However, in line with entrenched household roles, men’s understanding of potential household health risks ultimately facilitated their enrolment decisions, while economically empowered women prioritised their direct knowledge of household health risks. Men’s demand for health insurance was correlated primarily with their education level (OR = 2.238 [CI 1.228–2.552]), as well as with their socioeconomic status (OR = 2.207 [CI 1.173–4.153]), age (OR = 2.238 [CI 1.151–4.352]) and trust of the insurance provider (OR = 4.770 [CI 2.407–9.453]). Conversely, women’s enrolment decision was primarily associated with their income levels (OR = 5.842 [CI 1.589–21.484]), as well as by the presence of children (OR = 3.734 [CI 1.228–11.348]). The influence of wealth on health insurance enrolment highlights the need for policymakers to subsidize health insurance schemes for vulnerable population groups. Further, it is imperative to develop sensitization campaigns that are simple and digestible to facilitate understanding of health insurance across all target groups." @default.
