  abstract = {{W}e conducted a scoping review with the objective of synthesizing available literature and mapping what designs and methods have been used to evaluate health insurance reforms in sub-{S}aharan {A}frica. {W}e systematically searched for scientific and grey literature in {E}nglish and {F}rench published between 1980 and 2017 using a combination of three key concepts: "{I}nsurance" and "{I}mpact evaluation" and "sub-{S}aharan {A}frica". {T}he search led to the inclusion of 66 articles with half of the studies pertaining to the evaluation of {N}ational {H}ealth {I}nsurance schemes, especially the {G}hanaian one, and one quarter pertaining to {C}ommunity-{B}ased {H}ealth {I}nsurance and {M}utual {H}ealth {O}rganization schemes. {S}ixty-one out of the 66 studies (92%) included were quantitative studies, while only five (8%) were defined as mixed methods. {M}ost studies included applied an observational design (n=37; 56%), followed by a quasi-experimental (n=27; 41%) design; only two studies (3%) applied an experimental design. {T}he findings of our scoping review are in line with the observation emerging from prior reviews focused on content in pointing at the fact that evidence on the impact of health insurance is still relatively weak as it is derived primarily from studies relying on observational designs. {O}ur review did identify an increase in the use of quasi-experimental designs in more recent studies, suggesting that we could observe a broadening and deepening of the evidence base on health insurance in {A}frica over the next few years.},
