Term Description

A single-item question used to determine the patient's overall financial resource strain. Patients are asked to select one answer (very hard, hard, somewhat hard, or not very hard). This single question has been found to be a valid measure of general financial resource strain. [PMID:23969421] (PMID: 19189781] Evidence from the CARDIA study demonstrated the value of measuring the difficulty of paying for basics over time (e.g., financial resource strain), because there appeared to be a cumulative effect (e.g., incident hypertension).
