They were conducting a study targeting the population they wanted to study. I’m assuming other studies would seek other populations out, assuming they could get the funding to even do so. 375k is a large but limited sum to deal out.
A comprehensive study would be to offer monetary aid to those who can use it and supplant that aid with equivalent or above resources in whatever mental care they need otherwise. More informed people can figure out how to reach out to “street-entrenched” individuals than me.
