- Abstract
- Overview: HOPE (Health, Opportunity, Partnerships, Empowerment) Accounts for Women tested the effects of a health intervention that incorporated financial education and social support through an Individual Development Account (IDA) program and HOPE Circles. The two-year study targeted obesity, hope, empowerment, and poverty among rural, low-income women in eastern North Carolina. Methods: The HOPE Accounts Dinner Discussion and Photo Project used a combination of focus groups and photo elicitation techniques to qualitatively explore the facilitators and barriers that the women faced in establishing financial savings and opening IDAs. Discussion: This paper describes the HOPE Accounts Dinner Discussion and Photo Project and presents the preliminary findings. Selected themes related to the facilitators and barriers around financial savings are shared, and implications for research and practice are discussed.
