1 Participation rate is defined as number of participating employees relative to target population. Target population is defined as total number of employees within company at time of workplace survey

2 Sex was recorded for 3573 of 6521 (54.8%) participating employees

3 Percentage of new insurances is defined as number of new insurances relative to the total number of employees per company at the time of the survey

4 Traditional insurance, which existed prior to introducing affordable insurance products, entails income dependent individual monthly premiums of N$800-2300; for affordable insurance, the age dependent monthly premium is N$250-350; for HIV coverage only, the monthly premium for all is N$30

5 N = 155/161 (96.3%) employees were on site on the day the survey was performed; use of this number would result in participation rate of 100%

6 N = 292/435 (67.1%) employees were on site on the day the survey was performed; use of this number would result in participation rate of 98.3%

7 Temporary employees, who were not part of the survey, were included in the new insurances taken up by this company

8 Insurance data of companies 13 and 14 could not be evaluated separately and were thus combined

9 All employees were insured at the time of the workplace survey
