Applying Normalisation Process Theory to a peer-delivered complex health intervention for people experiencing homelessness and problem substance use
To our knowledge, this is the first application of NPT to this cohort, and specifically by non-clinicians (peers) in non-healthcare settings (homelessness services). Our application of NPT helped us to identify ways in which the intervention could be enhanced, with the key aim of improving the health/well-being of this underserved group.
