    The number of older homeless people with a limited life expectancy is increasing. European studies on their health-related characteristics are lacking. This study compared self-reported health, healthcare service use and health-related needs of older and younger homeless people in the Netherlands.

This study explores self-reported care needs within a broad range of life domains among Dutch homeless people with and without a…

  • Perceived pros and cons of smoking and quitting in hard-core smokers

    Open AccessJeroen Bommelé, Tim M Schoenmakers et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014

    Although the perceived pros and cons of smoking in hard-core smokers largely mirror the perceived pros and cons of quitting, there are some major differences with respect to weight, social integration, health of children and stress reduction, that should be taken into account in clinical settings and when developing interventions. Based on these findings we propose the 'Distorted Mirror Hypothesis
