A Preliminary Study of Financial Management Assistance Use by the Elderly in the U.S.
Kim Eun-Jin,Geistfeld Loren V. The Korean Home Economics Association 2005 International Journal of Human Ecology Vol.6 No.1
Due to increasing life expectancy, Americans live nearly 20 years after retirement. During this period, elderly persons have to stretch finances to manage the level of living without earnings. However, decision making ability decreases with age. One coping strategy for this problem would be seeking help from others. We examine factors affecting elderly persons' assistance use with respect to financial management using the 2000 Health and Retirement Study (N=3,823). It was found that age, education, health status, and ethnicity significantly affect elderly persons' financial management assistance use. The older-olds, those with lower educational attainment and poorer health status were more likely to use financial management assistance. However, Hispanic elderly were less likely to use financial management assistance.
Factors Affecting Health Care Decisions of Rural Poor Women
Kim, Eun-Jin,Geistfeld, Loren V.,Seiling, Sharon B. 숙명여자대학교 아세아여성문제연구소 2003 Asian Women Vol.16 No.-
There are two primary reasons to examine rural poor women's health care decisions. First, poor women tend to be less healthy than their richer counterparts and rural people tend to have poorer health status than their urban counterparts. Second, parents' health status plays an important role in the health status of children, However, most studies with respect to the poor's health care have focused on children rather than parents. The purpose of this study is to examine key factors affecting health care decisions of rural poor women. The data came from the first wave of the NC223 project, Rural Families Speak: Tracking Their Well-being and Functioning in the Context of Welfare Reform. Analysis of the data revealed that medical insurance and transportation assistance increase the number of visits to a doctor, while emotional/physical/sexual abuse decreases the number of doctor visits.
