Risk Factors Associated with Recurrent Homelessness After a First Homeless Episode
Psychological pathways from childhood sexual and physical abuse to HIV/sexually transmitted infection outcomes among homeless women
This study examines the psychological factors linking childhood abuse and HIV/sexually transmitted infection outcomes among 190 single homeless women in New York City. Participants were assessed for mental health symptoms, sexually transmitted infections, and exposure to childhood sexual and physical abuse. Findings indicate that the relationship between childhood abuse and HIV/sexually transmitted infection diagnoses during adulthood is mediated…

Homelessness, Health Status, and Health Care Use
Objectives. Little is known about the health status of those who are newly homeless. We sought to describe the health status and health care use of new clients of homeless shelters and observe changes in these health indicators over the study period. Methods. We conducted a longitudinal study of 445 individuals from their entry into the homeless shelter system through the subsequent 18 months. Results. Disease was prevalent in the newly homeless.…

We appreciate Alexander-Eitzman’s interest in our article and welcome the opportunity to respond to his letter. We take issue with his assertion that our approach in this study of risk factors for long-term homelessness is one where the “tools define the problem,”1(pXXX) with the implication that our predictor variables were heavily tilted toward the assessment of psychopathology. Although our assessment battery did include standardized assessmen…
Risk Factors for Long-Term Homelessness
Objectives. We examined risk factors for long-term homelessness among newly homeless men and women who were admitted to New York City shelters in 2001 and 2002. Methods. Interviews were conducted with 377 study participants upon entry into the shelter and at 6-month intervals for 18 months. Standardized assessments of psychiatric diagnosis, symptoms, and coping skills; social and family history; and service use were analyzed. Kaplan—Meier surviva…
Risk factors for homelessness among women with schizophrenia

Subjects were recruited from shelters, clinics, and inpatient psychiatric programs in New York City. Clinical interviewers used standardized research instruments to probe t…

METHODS. Subjects were recruited from shelter, clinic, and inpatient psychiatric programs in Upper Manhattan. Clinical interviewers employed standardized research instruments to probe three domains of risk fact…

Housing change of chronic schizophrenic patients
Economic Costs of Schizophrenia
Measurement of the costs of health care and work loss of chronic mental patients is a vital link between clinical care and political decisions. If costs associated with poor outcomes of deinstitutionalized patients are identified, the margin for investing in programs that could improve outcomes without raising overall costs is also identified. This study analyzed direct and indirect costs in the first year after 119 chronic schizophrenics, drawn …
