Check out Carolyn's newly published paper "Just a knife wound, nothing too painful....[]". The third of her PhD work aims to understand the health needs of individuals experiencing homelessness. This piece is a must-read if you share the concern about the growing homeless crisis, if you have an interest in health equity, if you believe that health services are designed for the 95% "norm", or if you are curious about health equity, stigma and grief. If none of the above applies to you, you should read it because it is an excellent manuscript. It is an example of how good qualitative research should be done.

During the most rewarding phase of my PhD research so far, patients experiencing homelessness in Dublin were generous enough to share with me their thoughts and wishes for their own health and healthcare. Those I spoke with hope to feel better mentally and physically, to strengthen ties with children and family, and to find a sense of purpose. You can read more about participants' needs and experiences, expressed movingly in their own words, in our recent Plos One publication: https://lnkd.in/djE6vSmU Conor Buggy Carla Perrotta

Why are physicians happy with the status quo? According to recent research in JAMA, relative to non-physicians, US physicians are less likely to vote, attend public meetings, volunteer, or otherwise be politically engaged. Per the authors: "Physicians could play a greater role in influencing health-related public policy given their expertise and socioeconomic opportunities". This leaves a vacuum that allows for stigma and misunderstanding about healthcare - particularly for those who are homeless or have mental illness and drug addiction challenges. ⬇️Listen below to hear the full clip: https://lnkd.in/gAbaUeCu 🎧Full podcast: https://lnkd.in/g6vYQgAg 📑Reference: https://lnkd.in/gtB8x5VF

Strong coverage of Johnson vs Grants Pass in NEJM Group (New England Journal of Medicine) "We believe the Supreme Court should not enable the criminalization of homelessness. Penalties for sleeping in public spaces when no safe, affordable, or accessible alternatives are reasonably available for people experiencing homelessness are a form of cruel and unusual punishment. Systemic failures and injustices are far more important drivers of homelessness than individual actions or decisions. To work toward more just, equitable, and sustainable solutions that promote individual and population health, we believe the focus should be on interventions that integrate stable housing placements with high quality health care and comprehensive support services" https://lnkd.in/dZ_tiwVC

We were thrilled to kick this week off by discussing #CAHomelessnessStudy findings at UCSF Clinical & Translational Science Institute and San Francisco Bay Collaborative Research Network's conference on housing, labor, and health care! Key points: ➡️ Housing and homelessness are, without question, a racial justice issue. People of color make up nearly 75% of the homeless population in California. ➡️ Poverty and very limited available and affordable housing to extremely low-income households make it very easy for people to lose their housing. ➡️ Working alongside folks with lived expertise is critical to gathering comprehensive data and ensuring proposed solutions are aligned with what people need. Panelists included: Dr. Margot Kushel MD; Dr. Kara Young Ponder, PhD, PhD; and Robynne Rose-Haymer, MEd.
