This may enhance research inclusivity and ultimately contribute to better understanding of the complex health needs of populations experiencing homelessness within public health.

Abstract

Using flexible, trauma-informed, participant-centred approaches informed by the involvement of people with lived experience and gatekeeper organisations can ensure high levels of recruitment and retention of PEH. This may enhance research inclusivity and ultimately contribute to better understanding of the complex health needs of populations experiencing homelessness within public health.
