Economic stability is a well-documented social determinant of health, and financial stress is an important driver for the health disparities observed in the poor. Persons under financial stress are more likely to engage in smoking, alcohol consumption, overspending, poor diet, and reduced exercise. Financial education and coaching is one strategy that can be used to reduce financial stress and potentially improve engagement in healthy lifestyle behaviors, quality of life, and objective health outcomes. A conceptual model describing the link between financial education/coaching and health is described along with preliminary data from a randomized controlled trial evaluating this intervention.
经济稳定是有据可查的健康社会决定因素,而经济压力是贫困人群中观察到的健康差距的重要驱动因素。处于经济压力下的人更有可能吸烟、饮酒、过度消费、饮食不良和减少运动。金融教育和辅导是一种可以用来减轻经济压力并有可能提高对健康生活方式行为的参与度、生活质量和客观健康结果的策略。本文描述了一个描述金融教育/辅导与健康之间联系的概念模型,以及一项评估该干预措施的随机对照试验的初步数据。
