Quote:
“Not surprisingly, adults with lower incomes experience financial stress more acutely, and those who experience high levels of stress related to their finances are more likely to cope by smoking, eating, drinking alcohol, and watching television in excess, all of which increase their risk for chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease.” ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"mZlpNLaD","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Purnell, 2015, para. 1)","plainCitation":"(Purnell, 2015, para. 1)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":227,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/WvZUWaY4/items/6YUE6V7B"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/WvZUWaY4/items/6YUE6V7B"],"itemData":{"id":227,"type":"chapter","container-title":"What It's Worth: Strengthening the Financial Future of Families, Communities and the Nation","edition":"1","publisher":"Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco","title":"Financial Health is Public Health","author":[{"family":"Purnell","given":"Jason Q."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}},"locator":"1","label":"paragraph"}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Purnell, 2015, para. 1).
Paraphrase:
Lower-income households are more likely to suffer acute stress due to the financial difficulties they are experiencing. Adults who are meant to provide for their families but cannot do so comfortably may resort to drinking alcohol and smoking, which increases their risks to diseases such as diabetes ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"NkafleVK","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(Purnell, 2015)","plainCitation":"(Purnell, 2015)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":227,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/WvZUWaY4/items/6YUE6V7B"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/WvZUWaY4/items/6YUE6V7B"],"itemData":{"id":227,"type":"chapter","container-title":"What It's Worth: Strengthening the Financial Future of Families, Communities and the Nation","edition":"1","publisher":"Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco","title":"Financial Health is Public Health","author":[{"family":"Purnell","given":"Jason Q."}],"issued":{"date-parts":[["2015"]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (Purnell, 2015).
Explanation of quote selection and connection:
I chose this quote as it shows the challenges faced by lower-income households. An adult must provide for his/her family. In a situation where this is a challenge, adults may feel lost and decide to find unhealthy ways of coping with poverty. Habits such as drinking and smoking pose a significant health risk to adults irrespective of status. Other than their addictive nature, these habits cause diabetes, heart disease, lung failure, and kidney problems.

Paraphrase:
Research shows the link between financial capabilities and physical and mental health. Papers show the plight suffered by the more impoverished families. The economic conditions make it difficult for poorer families to have a quality life and lower life expectancy. Individualism makes it difficult for any more impoverished families to get any help, mainly by the policy.
