Description

Kristen Morin and co-authors set out a 2024 protocol to evaluate a transitional housing program in Sudbury, Ontario. The program serves people who use substances, face homelessness, and live with a mental health condition. Northern Ontario carries sharp versions of all three challenges. The evaluation will judge effects on patient outcomes, health care use, and how clients themselves see the program.

The design runs several studies in parallel: records analysis, before and after interviews, and in depth qualitative interviews. People who use substances, frontline staff, and decision makers help run the evaluation as partners. A wide set of statistical tools will handle survival, repeated measures, and group outcomes. The team aims for evidence on whether such housing steadies lives, raises social capital, and narrows health gaps for this group.
