I appreciate your unwavering support.

Evaluating a program that explores the relationship between perceived poverty and health, and their roles in the poverty-health vicious cycle requires a comprehensive approach. Here are five key points to consider:

Qualitative insights: Conduct semi-structured interviews to gather perceptions from stakeholders about how perceived poverty affects health outcomes.

Thematic analysis: Use thematic analysis to identify key themes and mechanisms that contribute to the poverty-health cycle, focusing on social determinants.

Longitudinal tracking: Implement longitudinal studies to observe changes in health status and perceptions of poverty over time among participants.

Contextual factors: Analyze the influence of contextual factors, such as community resources and healthcare access, on the relationship between perceived poverty and health.

Policy recommendations: Develop actionable policy recommendations based on findings to address the identified barriers and improve health outcomes for those in perceived poverty.
