Title	Use of Nonpharmaceutical Interventions in the Prevention of COVID-19 in People Experiencing Homelessness in Emergency Shelters
Abstract	This project focused on COVID-19 and its impact on the homeless population in northwestern Pennsylvania. The theoretical framework was the Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice Model (JHEBP). A survey collected self-reported data on the practice and barriers to using personal NPIs. Participants were adults ages 18 years or older residing in one of two emergency shelters on the data collection date. The Questionnaire to Assess Preventative Practices Against the COVID-19 Pandemic in the General Population was modified to facilitate its use in an emergency shelter setting in the United States. Surveys were distributed to 142 individuals over the four data collection times; 28% were returned with 93% complete.
