Financial Well-Being Users Survey

Dear [NAME],

Abt Associates is working with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to better understand what financial education practitioners have heard about and are learning through using the CFPB Financial Well-Being Scale.

You are invited to complete a survey about the CFPB’s Financial Well-Being Scale. We anticipate this survey will take 15-20 minutes. We would like to reach as many financial practitioners as possible, so please share this email with other colleagues who may be appropriate to complete the survey.

We will combine your responses with others into a report to the CFPB about the current state of knowledge and practice regarding the Financial Well-Being Scale. CFPB will use that report to guide its next phase of work in developing and promoting understanding of the Scale.

Thank you again for your help with this important study.
