Summary

This Stage 3 efficacy study aims to address the critical need for interventions that increase access to appropriate community-based healthcare services, especially for those who have a history of incarceration and inform health policy by testing an intervention that directly reduces the racial income gap by providing a universal basic income (UBI). UBI is intended to promote and protect Black men's health through the influx of capital and subsequent increases in culturally-based protective factors such as personal agency and social connections. Participants will be split into 2 groups: the control and the intervention. Participants in the intervention group will be provided UBI of $500 per month for 6 months to increase healthcare utilization among chronically-ill, low-income Black men.
