A test of self-medication hypothesis for drug use in homeless persons: The role of severe mental illness
The purpose of this study was to test the self-medication hypothesis of drug use in a sample of homeless persons. A serial mediation model was tested to examine the effects of recent victimization on trauma-related symptom severity, and the effects of trauma-related symptom severity on severity of severe mental illness (SMI) symptoms, and finally the effects of severity of SMI symptoms on illicit drug use. The final sample for the study included …
The relationship between PTSD factors and depression in a chronically homeless sample
The relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) is the subject of ongoing inquiry. Homeless adults with psychiatric illnesses are at risk for comorbid PTSD and MDD. However, the factor structures of commonly used screening tools for PTSD (PCL-5) and MDD (PHQ-9), and their interrelationships, have not been widely investigated in this population. The present article tests the factor structure of th…

Recruitment, engagement, and retention of people living with HIV and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
People living with HIV/AIDS who have both a co-occurring mental health diagnosis and a substance use disorder (individuals with triple diagnoses) frequently do not receive adequate treatment for one or more of their illnesses. Poverty, risky behaviours, vacillating motivation, and cognitive impairments are additional problems facing many individuals with triple diagnoses. In many communities the service system is inadequately prepared to serve th…
Client choice of treatment and client outcomes
Participants in this study suffered from severe mental illness and were homeless at baseline. They were given their choice of five different treatment programs. The current study investigated two major questions: (1) what is the impact of positive expectancies about the efficacy of the chosen program on number of contacts with the chosen program and client outcomes; and (2) what is the impact of positive views about nonchosen programs (alternativ…

Duration of homeless spells among severely mentally ill individuals: A survival analysis
The major objective of this study was to identify predictors of the duration of homeless spells among persons with severe mental illness (SMI). This was the first study to incorporate time-varying covariates into the survival analysis model predicting the length of homeless spells. The sample consisted of 215 individuals who had participated in two experiments evaluating the effectiveness of various treatment programs for homeless individuals. Pe…

Helping homeless mentally Ill people: What variables mediate and moderate program effects
This process evaluation study examined what variables moderate and mediate treatment effects on days in stable housing and client satisfaction for homeless mentally ill clients. In general, demographic characteristics did not moderate either outcome variable. Housing contacts, entitlement contacts, mental health contacts, and supportive services were significant mediators of the treatment effect on days in stable housing. Program contacts, mental…
Development and cross-validation of a system for classifying homeless persons
The present study used cluster analysis to empirically derive and cross-validate a system for classifying homeless persons on the basis of their service needs. Variables used in the subgroup identification phase of the study included psychopathology, alcoholism, social support, socioeconomic status, and health status. Four subgroups were identified: (1) an economically disadvantaged group, (2) an alcoholic group, (3) a mentally ill group, and (4)…

Predicting Chronic Homelessness
Lack of human capital, social alienation, psychiatric pathology, and exposure to stressful life events have all been offered as theoretical explanations for chronic homelessness. In this study, a multiple regression equation that included variables from all four theoretical orientations did significantly predict the length of time homeless. However, only a small percentage of the total variance of chronic homelessness could be explained by these …
A Comparison of Taxonomic Systems for Classifying Homeless Men
The present study compared the relative merits of two taxonomic systems for classifying homeless men. One system classified homeless men based on their past history of psychiatric disability. The other system classified individuals on the basis of their current psychiatric impairment. Both classification systems displayed significant discriminating power using a set of predictor variables that included demographic variables, childhood happiness, …
Homeless men and women: Commonalities and a service gender gap
Gender differences among homeless persons on a host of variables were examined. A stratified random sample of 248 homeless persons staying in shelters in St. Louis provided data for the study. More similarities than differences between men and women were found. However, men tended to be homeless for longer periods and were more likely than women to sleep on the streets. Men were also more likely than women to have a drinking problem and to have b…
