Description
Natalie Pope, Abigail Latimer, Debra Moser, and co-authors share lessons from research with older adults who lack housing in this 2023 paper. Adults in their late fifties and sixties are the fastest growing group among homeless people, and their numbers are expected to triple by 2030. This group carries heavy illness burdens and unmet health needs.
The authors draw on two completed interview studies with unhoused older adults and clinician groups. They describe trouble finding and screening participants, and hard calls about memory problems and mental health seen during the work. They also cover the emotional load on the research team, building ties with local partners, and paying participants fairly. Their advice urges researchers not to skip this hard-to-reach group. Studies shaped around these hurdles can bring the voices of unhoused older adults into services meant for them.
