Straighter from the Source: Alternative Methods of Researching Homelessness.

Rosenthal, Rob

Urban Anthropology and Studies of Cultural Systems and World Economic Development, v20 n2 p109-26 Sum 1991

Alternative methods of data collection among homeless people are compared to traditional shelter and street surveys. The alternatives allow for more people to be reached, achieve greater depth, put researcher and subject on a more equal footing, and appear to produce a more accurate picture of homeless people in their diversity.
