Abstract: Health insurance coverage is an important facilitator of health and health care access for people in the United States. While previous studies have reported associations between health insurance coverage types and positive clinical outcomes along the HIV Care continuum, few studies have investigated the effect of insurance coverage on health-related quality of life. This evidence could help to identify unmet needs under current coverage strategies and guide health policy decision-making for people living with HIV and those at risk of acquiring HIV. In this presentation, we will describe an application of the parametric g-formula to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of hypothetical strategies of insurance coverage on health-related quality of life among women in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study.
