The McGill Institute for Health and Social Policy is looking for two research assistants to conduct a rapid literature review to support the work of the Youth Working Group of the Quebec Homelessness Prevention Policy Collaborative (Q-HPPC).
Dans la rue, a community-based organization that supports youth at risk of and experiencing homelessness, is currently developing, implementing, and evaluating a Housing First for Youth (HF4Y) intervention for youth experiencing homelessness in Montreal, Quebec. Working closely with Dans la rue, we are looking for two student research assistants to conduct a rapid literature review to help identify effective intervention components and best and promising practices for this project.
Selected students will conduct a rapid literature review to help identify effective intervention components and best and promising practices for Dans la rue's Housing First for Youth (HF4Y) intervention. The identification of effective intervention components and support services for such a housing intervention will help them to develop an evidence-based approach to this project.
The two RAs will work closely with and be supervised by Prof. Christine Stich, Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health at McGill University and Co-Chair of the Youth sub-group of the Quebec Homelessness Prevention Policy Collaborative. The work can be done virtually, with no need for in-person work.
