| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The second year of the longitudinal study was accomplished. The Health Professional Attitudes Toward the Homeless Inventory (HPATHI) was administered to second-year medical and nursing students in AY2023. Seventy-three (73) medical students completed the questionnaire. The mean HPATHI score was 63.3 (min 38, max 82). On the other hand, fifty-four (54) nursing students completed the questionnaire. The mean HPATHI score was 63.7 (min 49, max 79). Moreover, the researcher presented the study at the 8th JSA-ASEAN Conference 2023 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Furthermore, the researcher completed an intensive course on Sustainable Development offered by the United Nations University in Tokyo to better understand the connection of the study to SDGs.

Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
For the longitudinal study, the administration of survey forms to medical and nursing students has been conducted as planned in AY 2022 and AY 2023. The researcher is coordinating with the faculties for the planned survey this year.
In the case of cross-sectional study, the researcher is still weighing if the data collected is sufficient for manuscript writing.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This is a longitudinal study based on before and after surveys, and series of cross-sectional surveys. The researcher is now evaluating which data can be used for manuscript writing. Further, the researcher is also planning to participate to aligned academic meetings, especially meetings on public health, medical sociology and sustainable development.

| Causes of Carryover |
The requested grant will be used for the on going data collection, participation on target conferences, and possible publication fees.
