Official title
Philly Family Trust Study: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of an Unconditional Cash Transfer to Improve Health Behaviors Among Adults With Chronic Diseases
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn about the effects of a short-term unconditional cash transfer (UCT) in people living with poverty and chronic disease (either prediabetes/diabetes or hypertension). The main questions it aims to answer are: * How feasible and acceptable is the intervention? * How are key health behaviors and outcomes affected by the intervention? * What are reasonable effect sizes to expect in a larger trial? Participants will complete surveys and health measurements at two timepoints 3 months apart. Half of the participants will be randomly assigned to the treatment where they will receive a UCT of $1000 over 4 months. Researchers will compare the treatment group to the control group to see if there are improvements in health risk factors directly related to insufficient resources (food and utility security, stress-levels, mental bandwidth), financial outcomes, and health behaviors.
