People experiencing homelessness face higher risks of infectious diseases due to factors like crowded living conditions and limited healthcare access.
A community-academic partnership in Tippecanoe County aims to tackle health disparities related to homelessness, offering recommendations for improving infectious disease preparedness based on research and experiences from COVID-19 and Monkeypox.
Effective partnerships and tailored outreach are essential for successfully implementing public health strategies in homeless populations, highlighting the importance of consistent communication and collaboration to enhance future responses to health crises.
