What this trial studies

This pilot study will screen and then diagnose neurodevelopmental disorders in 150 adults who are homeless and housed in shelters or social centers in Lyon. It uses a mix of self-report tools, direct observation, and informant input to establish diagnoses over two years. The goal is to determine the prevalence of ASD, ADHD, and ID among this population and to better understand how these conditions relate to homelessness and related outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the study could clarify which neurodevelopmental disorders are most prevalent in homelessness and inform targeted support and services.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research has linked NDDs to adverse outcomes; this pilot appears to be one of the first in France to estimate prevalence in a homeless population.
