Abstract
Background: Despite the new strategies and programs being developed and implemented, poverty still finds itself at a continuous increase yearly (Banovcinova et al., 2014). Families have been found to be the most susceptible group compared to everyone else due to the many factors they face that can affect them. By using the information provided by other articles, gaps identified is there are lack of studies on the factors that contribute to poverty among singleparent households headed by Latinas. Objective: This exploratory study aims to identify contributing factors to poverty among single-parent households headed by Latinas. Method: Qualitative data will be collected from a sample size of 5 and 10 participants recruited using a nonprobability method from single-parent Latina heads of households. We will be using a semi-structured interview guide to identify further contributing factors to poverty among single-parent households headed by Latina.
