What is the Purpose of this Study?

The purpose of this study is to examine whether glycemic control (lower hemoglobin A1c level) can be improved in working women with either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes by decreasing their financial burden. Researchers believe that increasing financial stability will lead to improved glycemic control, better overall health outcomes, and increased emotional wellbeing for participants. Participants will be women who are the heads of household with at least one dependent of any age living in the household and earn at or below 80% of the Area Median Income in Los Angeles for their household size. Procedures include medical records review, questionnaires and interviews, healthcare visit, and blood draws. Participants will receive cash disbursements for 12 months.
