“…For example, those with limited education are often found to have inadequate levels of HIL, yet studies with college students and young adults with high educational attainment, numeracy, and general literacy have been found to have inadequate functional HIL, (Nobles, Curtis, Ngo, Vardell, & Holstege, 2019; Tilley, Yarger, & Brindis, 2018). This emphasizes the need to better address the HIL needs of young adults, especially those who are entering the workforce, transitioning from their parent's health insurance plans, and/or making independent health insurance coverage decisions.…”

However, many young adults lack basic knowledge and understanding of health insurance, including the meaning of concepts such as co-payments and deductibles (Tilley, Yarger, & Brindis, 2018;Wong et al, 2015), so they may have misperceptions about the out-of-pocket contraceptive costs.…”
