The qualitative interview sample and RCT sample are mutually exclusive, but both were collected as part of an overall health insurance literacy study + Percentages add up to more than 100% as some participants had more than one health insurance coverage type (i.e., public and private). Income was not asked for the qualitative sample. For the qualitative interview sample, treatment status is missing N = 1. For the randomized controlled trial sample, COST score is missing N = 4 and income is missing N = 14
