Normalization of alcohol misuse and alcohol-related harms: a mixed methods analysis exploring alcohol misuse, morbidity, and healthcare engagement in people experiencing homelessness
Normalization of alcohol-related harms may represent a barrier to timely engagement with healthcare and a mechanism driving greater likelihood of alcohol-related harms in PEH. Improving knowledge around alcohol-related harms and healthcare may help to counter the misperceptions of risk and fatalistic attitudes that normalization fosters. Such intervention may be particularly effective for PEH if targeted towards those accessing hostels and day-centres.
