History of Changes
  Purpose

Many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. This may lead to financial stress and an increase in overall stress. People under stress are more likely to smoke, consume alcohol, eat a poor diet, and experience depression or anxiety. Experiencing financial stress may also increase the risk for heart disease. The purpose of this research study is to test whether participating in the Financial Success Program improves health outcomes, in both the women participating and their children.
