Factors influencing drop-out of households from community based health insurance membership in rural districts of Gurage Zone, Southern Ethiopia: Community based case-control study

ABSTRACT:

Background

Financial risk-sharing through community-based health insurance is a critical component of universal health coverage. However, its development is a great challenge, not only due to low enrollment but also due to the high dropout rate of members from the program, which threatens its sustainability. So far, the few existing studies in this area have focused on household enrollment into community-based health insurance, rather than on the number of members dropping out. This study aims to identify factors influencing households to drop out of community-based health insurance membership in rural districts of the Gurage Zone, Southern Ethiopia.

Methods

A community-based case-control study was carried out from May to July 2021. Supplemented by qualitative focus group
