My current PhD research aims to improve our understanding of multimorbidity with mental health conditions for people who have experienced homelessness.
Homelessness can encompass many different romania rcs data types of experiences, for example rough sleeping, temporary accommodation, and sofa surfing. We know that people who experience homelessness also experience severe health inequalities across mental health conditions, physical health conditions, and addictions.
However, previous research looking at multimorbidity (defined as the co-occurrence of multiple health conditions) and homelessness have largely focused on people who are currently rough sleeping, predominantly male, and . This limits our understanding of multimorbidity and can exclude people who have experienced other types of homelessness.
Addressing this gap is important to inform integrated healthcare support for people who have experienced homelessness, as recently recommended by the 2022 National Institute for Clinical Excellence guidelines.
