Literacy Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effectiveness of a Functional Literacy Program for Formerly Homeless Adults
The purpose of this study is to assess a functional literacy program for formerly homeless adults now residing in supported housing who have difficulty performing daily life skills requiring functional literacy (e.g., bill paying, medication management, community transportation) needed to maintain housing placements. The hypothesis is that intervention group participants will improve in functional literacy compared to the control group that does not receive the intervention.
Sixty-five percent of homeless adults are reported to be illiterate or marginally literate.
The lack of literacy in a high technological society negatively impacts this population's
ability to participate in daily life activities including finding and maintaining employment,
renting and maintaining an apartment, seeking health care, using public transportation, and
managing finances. Poor literacy marginalizes this population from societal participation and
maintains this group in a state of lack and deficiency.
A literacy program will be delivered to participants who are formerly homeless and now
residing in supported shelter. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention
(n=20) or control (n=20) group. The intervention group will receive the functional literacy
intervention over 8 weeks, twice weekly. Intervention sessions will allow participants to
learn literacy skills within the context of real-life daily activities like grocery shopping,
preparing a meal, and purchasing subway cards. Control group participants will not receive
intervention.
