Examination of Objective and Subjective Cognition and Their Association With Functional Outcomes: A Cross - Sectional Study in a Canadian Sample of Homeless and Precariously Housed Adults

In this episode, our host, Dr. Scott Sperling, and student leader, Jared Jacoboson Cherry, meet with authors Dr. Kristina Gicas and Michelle Blumberg to discuss their recent paper, Examination of Objective and Subjective Cognition and Their Association With Functional Outcomes: A Cross-Sectional Study in a Canadian Sample of Homeless and Precariously Housed Adults. The authors share insights from their cross-sectional study of 88 community-dwelling adults experiencing homelessness or precarious housing, which examined the associations between facets of cognition and domains of quality of life and perceived everyday functioning. The conversation explores the importance of involving this population in clinical research and how subjective cognitive measures could be included alongside objective measures to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the needs of homeless populations.
