  • A Focus Group Study of Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapy for Military Veterans Reintegrating Into Civilian Life

    Open Access•M Christine Highfill, Jessica Cassidy et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Humanistic Psychology•2024•References: 48

    Many veterans returning to civilian life face medical and mental health issues. As there is a stigma of using mental health services, equine-assisted activities and therapy (EAAT) has been considered a nonconventional intervention to support the mental health and well-being of veterans. In this qualitative study, 14 focus groups with 67 participants and program volunteers and staff of a veteran-led EAAT program were conducted to explore perspecti…

    Vinay Kotamarti, Carol S North et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Distress and…•2021

    Objectives: The relationship of adult antisocial behavior to the diagnosis of ASPD has not been investigated in homeless populations.

  • Comparison of Patient Experience Between Primary Care Settings Tailored for Homeless Clientele and Mainstream Care Settings

    Stefan G Kertesz, Aerin J Derussy et al.•ARTICLE•Medical Care•2021•References: 40

    BACKGROUND: More than 1 million Americans receive primary care from federal homeless health care programs yearly. Vulnerabilities that can make care challenging include pain, addiction, psychological distress, and a lack of shelter. Research on the effectiveness of tailoring services for this population is limited. OBJECTIVE: The aim was to examine whether homeless-tailored primary care programs offer a superior patient experience compared with n…

    Open Access•Allyson L Varley, Ann Elizabeth Montgomery et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Health Research•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 42

    To develop and evaluate an effective model of patient-centered, high-quality, homeless-focused primary care, our team explored key domains of primary care that may be important to patients. We anchored our conceptual framework in two reports from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) that defined components of primary care and quality of care. Using questions developed from this framework, we conducted semistructured interviews with 36 homeless-experie…

    Background: Most of the existing research on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11) has narrowly focused on posttraumatic stress disorder, limiting the potential to learn about other important consequences of this disaster. This qualitative study examined survivors’ views of justice regarding the 9/11 attacks on New York City’s World Trade Center. Method: A volunteer sample of 196 employees with varied 9/11 disaster-trauma exposures f…

  • Technology Use among Emerging Adult Homeless in Two U.S. Cities

    David E Pollio, D Scott Batey et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work•2013•Cited by: 10•References: 1

    Researchers have shown increasing interest in technology use among youths and emerging adults (Bleakley, Merzel, VanDevanter, & Messeri, 2004; Redpath et al., 2006; Valentine & Bernhisel, 2008). However, no research to date examines this issue among emerging adult homeless. As these young people are more difficult to engage in services (Ensign & Bell, 2004; Hudson, Nyamathi, & Sweat, 2008) and have higher rates of mental illness (Merscham, Van Le…

  • Exploration of Arrest Activity among Homeless Young Adults in Four U.S. Cities

    Kristin M Ferguson, Kimberly Bender et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Research•2012•Cited by: 2•References: 7

    Research suggests that in comparison with their housed peers, homeless young adults have disproportionately greater involvement in criminal activity, including theft, property offenses, and illicit substance use (Baer, Peterson, & Wells, 2004; Thompson, Jun, Bender, Ferguson, & Pollio, 2010). Because 20% to 30% of the nearly 2 million homeless young people have arrest histories (O'Grady & Gaetz, 2004; Whitbeck, 2009), a conservative estimate tran…

  • Predictors of Successful Tracking over Time in a Homeless Population

    Carol S North, Melissa Black et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Research•2012•Cited by: 1•References: 1

    Optimal understanding of the longitudinal course of homelessness requires research methodologies for successful tracking of this difficult-to-follow population (McKenzie et al., 1999).

    David E Pollio, Carol S North et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Service Research•2006•References: 38

    This article focuses on the stressors of parenting an adult child who experiences homelessness. Parents whose adult children become homeless may provide support to this child, but they may also subsequently experience stress and require social support themselves. Findings from this study support the hypothesis that parents who spend more time or money helping their homeless adult offspring experience higher levels of stress. Results also show hig…
