Abstract: The adverse physical and mental health outcomes associated with experiencing homelessness are particularly complex within family units, as poor caregiver health has a spillover effect on children’s health and development. One proposed strategy to facilitate early intervention is to incorporate screening for housing status in primary care settings, followed by connection to appropriate resources. To date, there has been limited research on how families who have experienced or are experiencing homelessness perceive screening for housing status in the primary care setting.
