And so we were wondering if you could broadly, like, paint the picture of what it's like to work with this population for clinical research, especially in regards to, like, consent processes, rule-outs, ethics, et cetera.

Kristina GicasGUEST
Of course, this is a highly marginalized, very vulnerable population, and so we really do have to be sensitive to a lot of these unique needs that these individuals present with.

Kristina GicasGUEST
So you, you brought up one of those, which is, you know, the capacity to consent, given that we know there are significant cognitive impairments, as well as, you know, presenting under the influence at times.

Kristina GicasGUEST
And so we really take time to go through the consent process with these individuals, and kind of have some questions embedded within that to kind of check to see their, kind of, level of comprehension and understanding, giving them as much time as they need to ask questions, and then, you know, if they need some more time to consider their involvement, we give them as much time as needed.

So I was wondering, one, can you elaborate on the theoretical underpinnings that might explain this finding? And then as a part two, to what extent do you think we can explain this finding by the condition of homelessness, so to say, as opposed to are we dealing with people who maybe just lack insight or of self-perception, et cetera?
