Summary
Homelessness is an increasing problem which is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality in the UK. Homelessness is also associated with other forms of social exclusion, such as incarceration and drug use, which are interlinked and further increases their health harms. Interventions can reduce different forms of social exclusion or mitigate their effects, but it is not clear what interventions are needed to reduce the health harms related to homelessness to low levels. This PhD will use epidemiological methods and mathematical modelling to determine the importance of different public health responses for addressing the health harms associated with homelessness.
