The objective of the study is to determine whether financial literacy interventions
improve financial literacy significantly in the long-term (eighteen to twenty months
after the intervention) and in the short-term (one to three months after the intervention).
The improvements in the literacy scores in the short-term and in the long-term were
then used to assess the extent of change in financial literacy over time. The study also
investigated the efficacy of six alternate training methods, using three techniques -
lectures; lectures and movies; and lectures, movies and games, with the training being
imparted without and with an accompanying adult (mainly spouse).
