And I, I really wanted to better understand how those, you know, each uniquely shape everyday functioning as well as quality of life in this population.

Michelle BlumbergGUEST
And so to summarize the findings of this study, very broadly what we found is that objective and subjective cognition are not correlated with one another in adults experiencing homelessness or precarious housing, and this is in line with what we see in other clinical populations where we see this discordance between objective neurocognitive performance and how individuals feel about their cognitive functioning.

Michelle BlumbergGUEST
We also examined how these unique dimensions of cognition differentially relate to perceived everyday functioning, so how they feel about their community functioning, for instance, as well as perceived quality of life.

Michelle BlumbergGUEST
And what we found is that subjective cognition was strongly associated with both quality of life and perceived community functioning in this group, as opposed to performance on our computerized neurocognitive battery.

Michelle BlumbergGUEST
And of note, I think it's important to note that we didn't assess objective functioning and everyday functioning.

So k- keeping everything that Dr. Geekie has just mentioned in terms of explaining why we don't see that relationship necessarily or it being in one direction rather than the other, how much of it do you think we can attribute it to the status of someone being homeless as opposed to lacking insight or self-awareness?
