Patterns of CPBMI-OC and associated factors among platform workers in new forms of employment in China: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Despite the basic medical insurance system achieving 95% coverage in China, platform workers in new forms of employment (PWNFEs) face significant challenges in maintaining continuous participation in basic medical insurance (CPBMI). This study aims to identify distinct patterns of CPBMI by occupational characteristics (CPBMI-OC) and their associated factors.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional survey with 641 PWNFEs in China using a structured questionnaire and employed latent class analysis (LCA) to identify patterns of CPBMI-OC. We utilized multinomial logistic regression to examine the associations between patterns of CPBMI-OC and variables, including demographics, socioeconomic status, medical service utilization, and health and insurance statuses.
