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

@brownerika & I challenge financial literacyβs 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

Altogether, this project adds to the mountain of work that finds incarceration continues to harm people long after the fact. And more, older Black adults who were at a heightened risk of inc as young adults during the prison boom continue to bear this burden decades later
