Brief Summary

This study will identify what programs, along with traditional healthcare, low-income urban residents would choose to improve their health. The information is intended as a step toward designing public policies aimed at improving the health of low-income populations in the United States. Residents of Washington, D.C., who are between 18 and 64 years of age and are in a specified income bracket may be eligible for this study. Participants take part in audio-taped group discussions led by a trained facilitator. During a 3 hour session, participants engage in 4 cycles of choosing benefits. Participants select benefits as follows:

  • For themselves individually.
  • For their neighborhood.
  • For an entire city.
  • Once again individually.
