Unconditional cash interventions, such as guaranteed income, are a proposed solution for mediating the adverse health outcomes associated with financial scarcity. To test this, the City of Los Angeles, California, conducted a mixed-methods, randomized controlled trial in which they gave 3202 people $1000 with no strings attached for 12 months in 2022. Although the quantitative findings demonstrated mixed health effects, the qualitative findings highlighted how recipients viewed their well-being as an insurance policy against scarcity and reallocated time to preventive health behaviors when receiving a guaranteed income.

无条件现金干预措施，如有保障的收入，是一种被提议用于调节与经济匮乏相关的不良健康结果的解决方案。为了对此进行测试，加利福尼亚州洛杉矶市开展了一项混合方法的随机对照试验，在该试验中，他们于2022年向3202人每人提供了1000美元且无附加条件，为期12个月。尽管定量研究结果显示出对健康的混合影响，但定性研究结果突出了受助者如何将他们的幸福感视为抵御匮乏的一种保障，并在获得有保障的收入时将时间重新分配到预防性健康行为上。（《美国公共卫生杂志》. 2025;115(8):1222 - 1225. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2025.308125）
