Hidden disabilities: new study probes neurodevelopmental disorders in the homeless
NCT ID NCT06869915
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study will screen 150 homeless adults in French shelters for autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability using interviews and questionnaires. The goal is to find out how many have these conditions, which may have contributed to their homelessness. Results could help tailor support services for this vulnerable group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could reveal how often neurodevelopmental disorders go undiagnosed in homeless populations and guide better social and medical support.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (150 people) in one country, so results may not apply elsewhere. It only measures prevalence, not testing a treatment.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
