Observations and recommendations for conducting research in partnership with people with lived experience of homelessness

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This commentary addresses the urgent need for responsible research practices when conducting research on populations of people with lived experiences of homelessness. Recognising the marginalisation of this group by scientific investigators in both societies, this commentary seeks to address the ethical considerations, consent processes, and community engagement necessary to conduct meaningful and respectful investigative research in this population. By summarising basic approaches that prioritise data collection, participation and engagement, this piece aims to promote a deeper understanding of the unique challenges faced by people with lived experience of homelessness and the responsibilities of researchers choosing to work on this topic.
