Study Examines Characteristics of HDHP Participants

In "Characteristics of the Population With Consumer-Driven and High-Deductible Health Plans, 2005–2013", the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) found that:

"The population of adults within consumer-driven (CDHPs), high-deductible (HDHP) and traditional health plans was split about 50–50 between men and women in 2013...CDHP enrollees have consistently reported better health status than traditional-plan enrollees, exhibiting better health behavior than traditional-plan enrollees with respect to smoking and (except for 2010 and 2011), exercise, and sometimes obesity rates."
