Understanding this linkage among low-income Latinas who face unique experiences and challenges in relation to managing their household finances is important. This study utilized a community-based participatory qualitative research method to explore perspectives on financial and mental health among Latinas residing in Los Angeles County. Three focus groups were conducted with mainly immigrant, Spanish-speaking, low-income Latinas (n = 37). The study found that, though participants face financial stressors tied to managing finances, they were eager to learn new skills and tools for improved financial practices and mental health therapies. For financial education interventions targeted to Latinas, it is best to use interventions that incorporate peer support groups, improve knowledge about financial management tools and financial products available in the community, and therapeutic interventions to address financial stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":37600,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Financial Therapy","volume":"260 1","pages":"52-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13138579/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79634955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This assumes that credit card payers are “convenience users” and do not carry a balance. However, there are habitual credit card borrowers (“revolving users”), as well as those that elect to use debit cards, even though the costs outweigh the benefits. By examining the determinants of payment choice, with a specific focus on dual-self constructs (attitudes, myopia, and financial sophistication), results from this study can provide insight for financial professionals to help mitigate the incidence of revolving credit card users. Using data from Survey of Consumer Finances (SCF) collected between 1998 and 2013, results indicated that while myopia does not explain variation between revolving credit and debit card users, differences in attitudes exist. All dual-self constructs discriminated between revolving and convenience credit card users, with attitudes having the greatest effect. Combining results from these payment choice profile comparisons suggested that financial professionals may find value in initially encouraging revolving credit card users to be debit card users, while working to change credit attitudes, with the goal of transitioning these former revolvers to convenience credit card users.","PeriodicalId":37600,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Financial Therapy","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85109961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
