It's no foundation, there's no stabilization, you're just scattered: A qualitative study of the institutional circuit of recently-evicted people who use drugs

The intersection of gender and HIV status may complicate the role of neighborhood cohesion in safety, personal well-being, and health outcomes for populations impacted by social and structural inequities. Among women in particular, social cohesion within the neighborhood they reside in may have a greater influence on health outcom…
