Our population-based survey of 1078 randomly sampled US women, aged 18 to 55 years, sought to characterize their understanding of and attitudes toward the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Most women, especially socially disadvantaged groups, had negative or uncertain attitudes toward the ACA and limited understanding of its health benefits, including its relevance for their own health service coverage and utilization. Our findings are important for continued research, policy, and practice, with implications for whether, when, and how improved coverage will translate to improved access and outcomes for US women.
我们对 1078 名随机抽样的美国 18 至 55 岁女性进行了一项基于人群的调查,旨在描述她们对《平价医疗法案》(ACA)的理解和态度。大多数女性,尤其是社会弱势群体,对 ACA 持负面或不确定的态度,对其健康福利的了解有限,包括其对自己的健康服务覆盖和利用的相关性。我们的研究结果对于进一步的研究、政策和实践具有重要意义,这关系到改善覆盖范围是否、何时以及如何转化为美国女性获得更好的医疗服务和结果。
