Willingness to join community based health insurance among households in South Wollo, Northeast Ethiopia: A community-based cross-sectional study.
Article in PloS one, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPoor health care financing remains a major challenge to health service utilization among the lower socioeconomic society. Consequently, countries have designed different health insurance programs to overcome financial barriers against health services utilization. Similarly, Ethiopia has been implementing community-based health insurance programs since 2011 to improve health care financing system. However, only a small number of people are enrolled which might be attributed to lack of willingness towards the program and the reasons for this remained under reported. This study was intended to examine willingness to join the community-based health insurance program and its associated factors in South Wollo, Northeast Ethiopia.
methodA community-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 421 households. A multistage systematic random sampling technique was employed to recruit the study households. Data were entered into EpiData version 3.1 and was exported into SPSS version 24.0 for analysis. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis with a backward elimination method was performed to identify the determinants of willingness to join community-based health insurance. Finally, a statistically significant level was declared at a p-value of less than 0.05.
resultsTwo hundred and ninety-three [73.6% (95%CI:68.8%-77.9%)] households were willing to join community-based health insurance programs. Being male headed household (AOR:0.2, 95%CI: 0.07-0.58), being a member of Idir (AOR:0.46, 95%CI: 0.25-.84), absence of chronic illness in the household (AOR: 0.31, 95%CI: 0.13-0.77), and family size < 4 (AOR: 0.18, 95% CI:0.08-0.41) were barriers to join community-based health insurance program whereas rural residency (AOR:1.9, 95% CI: 1.09-3.32), perceived quality health services (AOR:2.96, 95%CI:1.4-6.24), and having positive attitude (AOR:4.1, 95%CI:2.32-7.22) and good knowledge to programs (AOR:2.62, 95%CI:1.43-4.8) were enabling factors.
conclusionNearly three-fourths of the households were willing to join community-based health insurance programs. However, different household and health service-related factors affected their willingness. The ministry of health with the regional and woreda health offices should work towards improving the quality of health services, conduct program advocacy and community sensitization towards the program, and build trust with the community.
