A Student-Led Patient Navigation Program: Assessing the Goals of Individuals Experiencing Homelessness
"Economic stability" and "health care access-related" goals were the most common among IEH participants. Subcategorization analyses revealed that "obtaining identification documentation (ID)" was a common goal that did not easily fit into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC)-defined categories but provided insight into necessary services. Characterizing the goals of IEH permits the development of targeted resources to assist IEH and bridge health care accessibility gaps.
