Summary

The Social Responses to Stigma study will explore experiences of stigma and discrimination amongst people who are homeless in south London, and then seek to understand how this stigma is created, mediated or mitigated within health, social, housing and legal care and support systems and social contexts.

The methodology is an ethnographic case study of the south London care and support system and its social context. The study will use a range of methods for data collection: interviews with people who are homeless, delivery stakeholders, and policy makers; a survey of peoples' experiences; observation within selected care sites; and gathering of documentary sources.

The study will be implemented through two parallel studies. The first, with KCL-REMAS approval, will operate in non-NHS sites. The second, with NHS-IRAS approval, will operate in NHS sites. The protocols are aligned with adaptations for each type of site.

A linked method to develop theory is cross-case comparison between South London and Vancouver, Canada, through secondary data analysis to linked studies ongoing there. The study will be ongoing from 2022 until January 2025. The project is funded in two phases, with potential to extend the study by a further three years, to January 2028.

The results of the study will inform the design of a novel intervention strategy to address the social dimensions of stigma. Subject to additional funding applications, the intervention strategy will be piloted and evaluated from 2025 onwards. The study results will be disseminated through scientific publications, public reports and a range of public and policy engagement activities.
