Involving experts by experience in conducting interviews with people who have been homeless
In this article, we describe the recruitment and response of interviewers with lived experience of homelessness. These experts by experience conducted interviews, together with university-schooled researchers, among other homeless persons. They first received an interview training, after which they supported in recruiting participants. We also interviewed professionals responsible for the care and policies of homeless people. We present some first results of the research, followed by reflections on the method of peer-led interviews and on the explanations for our findings by the interviewed professionals.
