Understanding trauma-impaired executive function and its impacts on homeless adults in the UK: a realist evaluative synthesis protocol by Monique Lhussier, Christina Cooper

“…At present, there is little evidence exploring the impacts of executive function (EF) deficits in adulthood as a result of childhood trauma from a lived experience perspective, with none specifically exploring the role these deficits might play in homelessness.Methods and analysis The proposed research takes a realist evaluative synthesis approach combining evidence from the extant literature with qualitative data from professionals involved in the delivery of services to support people with experience of homelessness (n=15–20) and people with experience of homelessness who have previously engaged with services (n=15–20).A combination of keywords (Adverse childhood experiences, executive function, social functioning and complex needs) and their synonyms will be used to search databases MEDLINE, PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science and CINAHL. …”
