Abstract

Health insurance is one of the most essential techniques that can assist in the utilization of health coverage and provide protection to the life of policy holders. However, in Karnataka, youth's attitudes regarding health insurance are quite different from those in other cities. Karnataka residents have not invested in health insurance despite the fact that the city is growing. Nearly 10–30% of young people have health-harming behaviours or conditions that demand the immediate attention of decision-makers and public health specialists. This population is specifically affected by, and is negatively impacted by, nutritional disorders (both malnutrition and overnutrition), tobacco use, harmful alcohol use, other substance use, high-risk sexual behaviours, stress, common mental disorders, and injuries like road traffic injuries, suicides, and violence of various types. The chapter promotes health insurance awareness among youth in Karnataka and knowing the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived attitudes toward health insurance in the minds of youth as well.
