ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how changes in income—both steady and unstable—affect the mental and physical health of women aged 18 to 60. Researchers want to understand how financial uncertainty can impact conditions like depression, anxiety, and blood pressure. By studying this, they hope to gain insights that could help improve the health of those who often struggle financially.

To participate in the trial, women must be between 18 and 60 years old and live in a household with five or fewer adults. Unfortunately, pregnant women cannot take part. If eligible, participants can expect to share their experiences regarding income stability and health, contributing to important research that could lead to better support for those facing economic challenges.
