Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a promising anti-poverty strategy in the United States (Hoynes & Patel, 2018). It has protective effects against adverse childhood experiences including child maltreatment (Berger et al., 2017; Biehl & Hill, 2018; Klevens et al., 2017; Rostad et al., 2020), intimate partner violence (Spencer et al., 2020), and parental mental health problems (Boyd-Swan et al., 2016; Evans & Garthwaite, 2014). Despite these positive impacts, approximately one in five families eligible for EITC does not receive it (Internal Revenue Service, 2019). The EITC Access Project involves intensive, one-on-one home visiting (delivered in conjunction with Parents As Teachers) that includes financial empowerment and education surrounding EITC across nine counties in the State of Michigan. Using paired t-tests, this study examines the outcomes of the EITC Access Project including knowledge of, application for, receipt of, and barriers to applying the EITC, and finds initial evidence that it may increase knowledge and uptake of EITC while decreasing neglect.

所得税抵免 (EITC) 在美国是一项很有前景的反贫困战略(Hoynes & Patel,2018)。它对不良童年经历具有保护作用,包括虐待儿童(Berger 等人,2017 年;Biehl & Hill,2018 年;Klevens 等人,2017 年;Rostad 等人,2020 年)、亲密伴侣暴力(Spencer 等人,2020 年) )和父母心理健康问题(Boyd-Swan 等人,2016;Evans 和 Garthwaite,2014)。尽管有这些积极影响,但大约五分之一符合 EITC 资格的家庭并未收到该补贴(美国国税局,2019 年)。 EITC 接入项目涉及密集的、一对一的家访(与“家长作为教师”组织一起提供),其中包括密歇根州九个县围绕 EITC 的财务赋权和教育。本研究使用配对 t 检验检验 EITC 获取项目的结果,包括对 EITC 的了解、申请、接收和应用障碍,并发现初步证据表明它可以增加对 EITC 的了解和采用,同时减少忽视。
