Purpose of the study: This study aims to find credit card literacy (henceforward CCL) and credit card usage behavior (henceforward CCUB) in India. Methodology: A survey was conducted on 400 respondents who were using a credit card in India. The questionnaire used for collecting data consisted of three sections; demographic information, CCL, and CCUB. To check the CCL, the customers were asked to rate their awareness of the terms and conditions of the credit card providers, while CCUB was measured using five questions. Main findings: CCL is found to be 34% and the results of logistic regression show that CCL and demographic factors influence the CCUB. Implications of this study: An understanding of the CCUB will be helpful in controlling excessive debt and high-interest payments. Novelty/Originality of this study: This paper gives a unique insight into CCL and CCUB in India.

This paper examines the role of socio-demographic and credit consumption tendencies in affecting credit card ownership and debt status. Based on a sample of 938 individuals from three major cities in Malaysia, card holders' debt status is measured in relation to credit card expenditure, which in turn is categorized into convenience users, low-risk credit revolvers and high-risk credit revolvers. While socio-demographic factors play significant roles in determining card ownership, card holders' credit consumption tendencies, such as past debt history and type of loan possessed, have varying adverse effects on the card holder's debt status.

Abstract. Background: Early identification and appropriate referral services are priorities to prevent suicide. Aims: The aim of this study was to describe patterns of identification and referrals among three behavioral health centers and determine whether youth demographic factors and type of training received by providers were associated with identification and referral patterns. Method: The Early Identification Referral Forms were used to gather the data of interest among 820 youth aged 10–24 years who were screened for suicide risk (females = 53.8%). Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regressions were conducted to examine significant associations. Results: Significant associations between gender, race, and age and screening positive for suicide were found. Age and race were significantly associated with different patterns of referrals and/or services received by youths. For providers, being trained in Counseling on Access to Lethal Means was positively associated with number of referrals to inpatient services. Limitations: The correlational nature of the study and lack of information about suicide risk and comorbidity of psychiatric symptoms limit the implications of the findings. Conclusion: The results highlight the importance of considering demographic factors when identifying and referring youth at risk to ensure standard yet culturally appropriate procedures to prevent suicide.
