Much of the work is applied and intervention-focused, including randomized controlled trials of housing-first and rapid-rehousing models and studies using biological markers like hair cortisol to measure stress. This research is relevant to students interested in social work, public health, or clinical psychology approaches to homelessness and youth services.
