Summary

This study gave 300 low-income Black young adults (ages 18-24) in San Francisco and Oakland $500 per month for a year, plus optional financial discussion groups. Researchers wanted to see if this guaranteed income could reduce depression, increase investments in education or job training, and improve access to mental health and sexual/reproductive health services. The study is complete, and results will show whether cash transfers can help address financial and health inequities.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Guaranteed income (monthly $500 cash transfer for 12 months) and optional peer financial discussion groups
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that guaranteed income improves mental health and reduces financial hardship for young Black adults.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study with 300 participants, so results are limited to this group and may not apply to other populations or settings.
