Health and Disability Among Persons Experiencing Homelessness

Abstract This paper provides insight into the health disparities prevalent among people experiencing homelessness and the impact on daily activities using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health framework and the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0. Persons experiencing homelessness reported that physical and psychological health conditions profoundly impacted daily functioning. The most impacted global domains included the emotional aspects of difficulties due to health problems, joining in community activities (Participation), moving and getting around (Mobility), and domestic responsibilities (Life activities).
