This present non\u2010randomized, concurrent mixed\u2010methods study protocol explains the next phase of the research designed proving proof of concept for a Nurse Practitioner model of care for these vulnerable children. Focusing on identifying and understanding clinic admission processes, tracking referral pathways and uptake, and how many vulnerable children miss potential care and why. This will help us to understand and address gaps in health service delivery for this cohort.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design<\/jats:title>\n The study uses a concurrent mixed\u2010 method design where both qualitative and quantitative data are collected during the same period (between January 2021 and March 2022 as per the funding timeline).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n The concurrent mixed\u2010method design will collect data from:\n \n \n A comprehensive assessment tool used by the Nurse Practitioner to evaluate the child accessing specialist homeless services, which assess their mental, physical and social health needs.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n Documentation about the child's referral needs and uptake by disadvantage families.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n Interviews with housing insecure families, and staff\/managers of the specialist homeless service.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n A review of Nurse Practitioner case notes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n \n Surveys of families with children accessing the Nurse Practitioner service.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:list-item>\n <\/jats:list>\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Discussion<\/jats:title>\n Addressing the childhood impacts of family homelessness is of global importance. Structural equation modelling, from the surveys and in\u2010depth health assessments along with the thematic analysis of the interviews with parents and staff\/managers provide an understanding of the relationships between referral uptake and variables such as education, homelessness and transport accessibility. Investigating the enablers and barriers to the usual health access and our extended referral uptake impacted by family homelessness enables a better understanding of the current health gaps.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Impact<\/jats:title>\n Just over one fifth of Australian children live with their families in some form of housing instability including homelessness. These children, aged from birth to 18\u00a0years, are often disconnected from health and similar social institutions, making them an underserviced population. Our research investigates a Nurse Practitioner services that helps reconnect children with services to help avoid poor long\u2010term health outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jan.15152","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,24]],"date-time":"2022-01-24T02:05:01Z","timestamp":1642989901000},"page":"1166-1175","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["A Nurse Practitioner service designed to address the health needs of children living in housing instability: A non\u2010randomised, concurrent mixed methods study protocol"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"78","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8030-2671","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yvonne","family":"Parry","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Health Sciences Flinders University Bedford Park South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7576-971X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eileen","family":"Willis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Health Sciences Flinders University Bedford Park South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sally","family":"Kendall","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Health Services Studies University of Kent Kent UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rhonda","family":"Marriott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pro Vice Chancellor Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Leadership, and Director of Ngangk Yira (Sun Rising) Research Centre Murdoch University Perth Western Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Ankers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Health Sciences Flinders University Bedford Park South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"Adams E. &Schofield D.(2009).Hospital nurse practitioners\u2014Models roles and scope of practice: An Evidence Check rapid review brokered by the Sax Institute.www.saxinstitute.org.au"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1891\/1061-3749.17.2.114"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","volume-title":"A picture of Australia's children 2012","author":"AIHW","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","volume-title":"National Social Housing Survey: Detailed results","author":"AIHW","year":"2017"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","unstructured":"AIHW.
