Journal Club
Welcome to H4H’s Journal Club! Journal Club is our very own community of like minded individuals who wish to improve their scientific literacy and learn more about public health research. We welcome students to lead their own discussions and presentations on public health topics as well as write and publish their own health articles on our website. Some of the main themes we discuss are the cycle of homelessness within society and health accessibility for the homeless.
Homelessness is a large, complex issue. Those experiencing homeless persevere through numerous challenges on a physical, interpersonal, and structural level.
Articles we have discussed in previous semesters:
- Homeless persons’ experiences of healthâ and social care:A systematic integrative review
- Cost-effectiveness analysis of behavioral interventions to improve vaccination compliance in homeless adults
- Cardiovascular Disease and Homelessness
- Menstruation and homelessness: Challenges faced living in shelters and on the street in New York City
- Engaging unhoused community members in the design of an alternative first responder program aimed at reducing the criminalization of homelessness
We will periodically be updating this page to add new content, articles discussed, and student work. Stay tuned!
