Exploring Mindsets About Diaper Need and Systemic Poverty
Presented by Elliot Cohen
Name of publication: Spotlight on Poverty & Opportunity
Across the country, 1 in 2 families with young children struggle to afford or access diapers required to keep their children clean and healthy—a result of structural inequities. But when asked to think about the causes of poverty, people tend to blame individuals for their needs.
To explore the reasons behind those views and to set the stage for new communications strategies, the FrameWorks Institute, in conjunction with the National Diaper Bank Network, has released new research on how Americans think about the experience and impact of diaper need.
Spotlight spoke with Frameworks Senior Researcher Elliot Cohen about the new work.
