The problem
Intervention: None - this is an observational study examining natural variation in financial stress exposure
Who it was tested with: 83 adolescent-parent dyads (mean adolescent age 13.01 years, mean parent age 43.26 years) in the United States during April-June 2021.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Participants in the study were 83 adolescent-parent dyads...who participated remotely between April 25th and June 1st 2021. Both parents and adolescents completed three measures of executive function and also reported on their mental health symptoms...Parents also reported on financial stress and whether they or their partner had lost employment during the pandemic." The study uses correlational analysis to examine associations between naturally occurring financial stress and cognitive/mental health outcomes.
Pilot study with small sample size, single measurement timepoint, cross-sectional design preventing causal inference, remote-only participation during specific pandemic period limiting generalizability
