So happy this work is finally published! We challenge the idea that financial competency is beneficial for all racial and ethnic groups. In this paper we look at healthcare disengagement due to cost concerns (eg not filling prescriptions due to cost concerns
It's official! ๐๐ทI am thrilled to announce the publication of my first academic article! In it, my co-author, @booknerd2016, & I look at how race disrupts the relationship between financial literacy & health precarity. Check it out on Sociology Compass:

@brownerika & I challenge financial literacyโs claim of universality. Our paper also aims to advance a contextualized definition of financial literacy that recognizes the institutional and structural barriers that constrain financial decision making for racialized minority groups
We find that financial literacy wasnt universally protective. It was associated with reduced healthcare disengagement (ie health precarity) for white adults but was unrelated to Black adults health precarity. For Hispanic adults, it was associated with increased health precarity
