Do I buy groceries or pay the electric bill? Should I pawn some of my belongings to afford my prescription? My child is sick, so I will have to miss work to take care of him.

The role-playing activity challenged students to navigate the financial, family and other pressures that can affect a person’s health and ability to follow medical advice.
