The latest Qualitative Methods Journal Club (QMJC) from October is now available online, focusing on assorted health disparities associated with ethnicity, age and gender within a community of homeless people who use drugs.
The Qualitative Methods Journal Club discussed a large scale, multi-disciplinary study that took place in San Francisco during 1994–2006 amongst people who were homeless and who used drugs. ‘Remarkable’ and ‘ground-breaking’ findings included the observation of different survival strategies between African American and White men.
The discussion was led and summarised by Stephen Parkin (National Addiction Centre, KCL).
