NCT06854770

Brief Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to identify the core elements of outreach practice necessary to engage with women experiencing street-involvement who are underserved within health and social care settings. The primary research questions are:

  • Meet regularly one-on-one with an outreach worker over an 18-month period
  • Co-develop (with the outreach worker) a plan, based on the individuals self-identified needs, for connecting with health and social services
  • Be invited to complete surveys at the start of their participation, and again every four months. These surveys ask questions about participants' resiliency, quality of life, independence, safety, and health status
  • Be invited to participate in a one-on-one interview with a researcher about their experiences in the study.
