Abstract
ABSTRACTAlthough poverty is a multifaceted social problem perpetuated by structural forces, interventions often require attendance and participation in programs that can be difficult for people experiencing poverty-related barriers. This project utilized secondary data from an evaluation of a 15-session group-based capacity-building intervention (Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin’-By World) to examine predictors of program completion. Results indicated that only lack of interest (inversely) and belief in the possibility of changing the future (positively) were predictive of program completion. No other barriers were significantly associated with completion. Limitations, as well as implications for practice and future research, are discussed.
