000000488 520__ $$aMany children who qualify for public insurance remain uninsured, often experiencing unmet medical needs and delayed care. This study examined whether the length of insurance coverage for adults enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is associated with children’s insurance status within the same household. Using data from 559 adults who completed three waves of the Oregon Health Care Survey, we compared socioeconomic and health characteristics and used multivariate logistic regression to assess risk of having an uninsured child. Adults with longer, continuous insurance coverage had significantly lower odds of having uninsured children, with stronger effects among those with a high school education or less. These findings suggest that reducing insurance gaps for caregivers may improve children’s insurance coverage.
