Creating Space for Adolescents and Families With Lived Experience of Homelessness to Build Familial Empathy, Communication, and Emotional Regulation: A Qualitative Study of Facilitators of Implementation.

The interview sample was small: 11 of 14 invited participants were interviewed, from seven dyads, so the findings may not apply to other families. Interviews happened 12 to 17 months after the intervention, so participants were recalling experiences from 12 to 17 months earlier. The paper reports participants' experiences and implementation facilitators, not measured impact on risk factors. Quantitative findings were to be reported elsewhere. Recruitment was halted by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the sample was limited to interested participants from minoritized backgrounds in a Midwestern setting. Participants who completed follow-up interviews may have been more likely to report positive experiences, though the authors used an interviewer not involved in initial intervention.

Do not read this as evidence that STRIVE+ works. The study analysed participants' descriptions from 11 interviews, not measured impact on risk factors, and quantitative findings were to be reported elsewhere.
