Researchers explore strategies that could help the homeless during pandemics
A team of UBC Okanagan researchers is looking at strategies that could help the homeless during a pandemic.
John Graham, director of UBC Okanagan s School of Social Work, says while many populations have been targeted with guidelines to keep them safe, homeless people have been mostly overlooked.
While this research project began a few years ago, Graham says his team quickly turned their attention to the impact of COVID-19. His team looked at peer-reviewed publications, dating back to 1984, that examined how homeless populations were impacted by other highly contagious or communicable illnesses such as tuberculous, H1NI and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
