description: <strong>Abstract</strong> Introduction: Health Insurance Literacy (HIL) is a concept that has gained growing attention in the last few years. Despite its increasing popularity, most of the research conducted around HIL has taken place in the United States. At the same time, there is still a lack of consistency in its conceptualization and instruments used to assess it. Objectives: This systematic review aims to (1) describe measures used to assess HIL and related constructs, (2) identify validated measures used to assess HIL and related constructs, and (3) assess the development of the found validated measures as well as their methodological quality and measurement properties. Methods: A systematic review will be conducted using ERIC, Econlit, PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL and Google Scholar bibliographic databases along with an environmental scan and reference-harvesting. Search strategy will be consulted with a librarian and peer reviewed. Two reviewers will screen titles and abstracts as well as full texts against the inclusion criteria and complete data extraction. Results will be summarized and synthesized following PRISMA and COSMIN guidelines and recommendations. Results/Discussion: The results of this review will inform the construction of a framework for HIL as well as of validated measurement instruments with the aim of facilitating and consolidating research around the topic.
