Social Determinants of Health, Cost-related Nonadherence, and Cost-reducing Behaviors Among Adults With Diabetes: Findings From the National Health Interview Survey
Open accessAbstract
Background: Cost-related nonadherence (CRN) is prevalent among individuals with diabetes and can have significant negative health consequences. We examined health-related and non–health-related pressures and the use of cost-reducing strategies among the US adult population with and without diabetes that may impact CRN. Methods: Data from the 2013 wave of National Health Interview Survey (n=34,557) were used to identify the independent impact of perceived financial stress, financial insecurity with health care, food insecurity, and cost-reducing strategies on CRN. Results: Overall, 11% (n=4158) of adults reported diabetes; 14% with diabetes reported CRN, compared with 7% without diabetes. Greater perceived financial stress [prevalence ratio (PR)=1.07; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05–1.09], financial insecurity with health care (PR=1.6; 95% CI, 1.5–1.67), and food insecurity (PR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.2–1.4) were all associated with a greater likelihood of CRN. Asking the doctor for a lower cost medication was associated with a lower likelihood of CRN (PR=0.2; 95% CI, 0.2–0.3), and 27% with CRN reported this. Other cost-reducing behavioral strategies (using alternative therapies, buying prescriptions overseas) were associated with a greater likelihood of CRN. Conclusions: Half of the adults with diabetes perceived financial stress, and one fifth reported financial insecurity with health care and food insecurity. Talking to a health care provider about low-cost options may be protective against CRN in some situations. Improving screening and communication to identify CRN and increase transparency of low-cost options patients are pursuing may help safeguard from the health consequences of cutting back on treatment.

High out-of-pocket drug costs are identified as a factor that limits initiation of and adherence to prescribed glucose lowering therapies.
“High out-of-pocket (OOP) drug costs are identified as a factor that limit initiation of and adherence to prescribed glucose lowering therapies.8,9,10,11,12”
From Evaluation of Out-of-Pocket Costs and Treatment Intensification With an SGLT2 Inhibitor or GLP-1 RA in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (2023) · cites this paper as [9]
The Introduction identifies lack of affordability as a reason for nonadherence, and Methods > Measures defines cost-related nonadherence to include skipping doses, taking less medicine, and delaying a prescription fill to save money. The study concerns adults with diabetes, but these measures do not distinguish glucose-lowering drugs from other medications or establish that costs prevent initiation of glucose-lowering therapy. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredCost-reducing strategies may improve medication-taking behavior in some cases.
“Medication costs can be a major source of stress for people with diabetes and contribute to worse medication-taking behavior (197); cost-reducing strategies may improve medication-taking behavior in some cases (198).”
From 9. Pharmacologic Approaches to Glycemic Treatment: Standards of Care in Diabetes—2025 (2025) · cites this paper as [198]
The Results (page unavailable) associate asking a doctor for a lower-cost medication with less cost-related nonadherence among adults with diabetes. But the Discussion (page unavailable) says the cross-sectional data cannot establish whether cost-reducing strategies improve adherence; other strategies were associated with more nonadherence. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSocial determinants have been linked to nonadherence.
“Social determinants have also been linked to nonadherence, and a recent study using data from the National Health Interview Survey found that half of the adults with diabetes perceived financial stress, while one-fifth reported financial insecurity and food insecurity [30].”
In a recent National Health Interview Survey study, half of adults with diabetes perceived financial stress, while one-fifth reported financial insecurity and food insecurity.
“Social determinants have also been linked to nonadherence, and a recent study using data from the National Health Interview Survey found that half of the adults with diabetes perceived financial stress, while one-fifth reported financial insecurity and food insecurity [30].”
In a study of patients with chronic disease, two-thirds of those who reported not taking medications as prescribed due to cost never shared this with their physician.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
