Abstract

People experiencing Homelessness are more likely to suffer from poorer health and oral health outcomes in general. The research project ‘Mapping the aspects of oral health, health, and psychosocial needs of homeless people in Brazil. Capacity building for effective and inclusive health promotion practices’ worked with international partners to address global health inequalities of homeless people and to improve capacity building of professionals working with these groups, in Scotland and Brazil. The project aimed to engage with people experiencing homelessness, and health and social care practitioners who work with these groups in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) and Glasgow (Scotland) to explore their experiences, views and perceived challenges on service access and engagement.

This educational resource (Portuguese language) was co-designed with 16 people experiencing homelessness and attending the Instituto lar in Rio de Janeiro, during the workshop session ‘Oral Health Promotion’ led by University of Dundee (Dentistry Division) in collaboration with PUC Rio University (Department of Social Work) and Instituto Lar, on the 19th March 2026.
