Risk Environments of Permanent Supportive Housing for Formerly Incarcerated People with Serious Mental Illnesses
Background: Formerly incarcerated people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) experience the criminal legal system unequally and have elevated rates of recidivism, homelessness, general medical problems, and substance use disorders. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) can be used during reentry, but it has limited resources for addressing community integration, a key component of reentry. PSH are often located in high-poverty environments with incr…
Safer-use strategies in the context of harm-reduction treatment for people experiencing homelessness and alcohol use disorder
A pilot study of virtual Harm Reduction Talking Circles for American Indian and Alaska Native adults with alcohol use disorder
Prior research suggests that culturally aligned, accessible and lower‐barrier interventions are well‐placed to align with the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people with alcohol use disorder (AUD). Taking into account community members' suggestions and the need for physical distancing during the COVID‐19 pandemic, our team developed a protocol for virtual Harm Reduction Talking Circles (HaRTC) to incorporate these points. The a…
Content Analysis of Preferred Recovery Pathways Among Urban American Indians and Alaska Natives Experiencing Alcohol Use Disorders
Approximately three fourths of the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population lives in urban areas, and urban AI/ANs are disproportionately affected by alcohol-related morbidity and mortality. Although no studies have documented alcohol use disorder (AUD) treatment outcomes specific to urban AI/ANs, studies in other Native communities highlight concerns about the cultural acceptability of directive, abstinence-based approaches, such as …
Content Analysis Informing the Development of Adapted Harm Reduction Talking Circles (HaRTC) with Urban American Indians and Alaska Natives Experiencing Alcohol Use Disorder
Prior studies with Native populations have highlighted concerns about the cultural acceptability of highly directive, Eurocentric approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy and 12-step programs in treating alcohol use disorder (AUD). When asked in a prior qualitative study how they would redesign AUD treatment, urban American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) participants reported wanting more low-barrier, harm-reduction treatment options, N…
Characterizing components of and attendance at resident‐driven Housing First programming in the context of community‐based participatory research
AIMS: This secondary study characterized components of and engagement in the life-enhancing alcohol-management program (LEAP), which is resident-driven housing first programming. METHODS: We used a process akin to conventional content analysis to operationalize the LEAP according to its component activities. We used generalized linear modeling to identify predictors of LEAP activity participation and to predict alcohol and quality-of-life outcome…
Jail and Emergency Department Utilization in the Context of Harm Reduction Treatment for People Experiencing Homelessness and Alcohol Use Disorder
The life‐enhancing alcohol‐management program
A 2‐arm, 6‐month, nonrandomized controlled pilot trial was conducted to test the initial effectiveness of the Life Enhancing Alcohol‐management Program (LEAP) as an adjunct to Housing First (HF; e.g., permanent supportive housing) on alcohol and quality‐of‐life (QoL) outcomes. The LEAP entails resident‐driven leadership opportunities, meaningful activities, and pathways to recovery aimed at reducing alcohol‐related harm and improving QoL. Data an…
Randomized controlled trial of harm reduction treatment for alcohol (HaRT-A) for people experiencing homelessness and alcohol use disorder
Content analysis of homeless smokers’ perspectives on established and alternative smoking interventions
Community-based participatory research (CBPR)
Community-based participatory research (CBPR) answers the call for more patient-centered, community-driven research approaches to address growing health disparities. CBPR is a collaborative research approach that equitably involves community members, researchers, and other stakeholders in the research process and recognizes the unique strengths that each bring. The aim of CBPR is to combine knowledge and action to create positive and lasting soci…
Six-month outcomes among socially marginalized alcohol and drug users attending a drop-in center allowing alcohol consumption
Religious and Spiritual Practices Among Homeless Urban American Indians and Alaska Natives with Severe Alcohol Problems
Engagement in religious and spiritual practices may be protective for homeless individuals with alcohol-related problems. However, little is known in this regard for urban-dwelling American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) who have disproportionately high rates of homelessness and co-occurring alcohol use problems. Using secondary data from a nonrandomized controlled study testing a Housing First intervention, AI/AN participants (n = 52) and n…

When Housing First Lasts
Single‐site Housing First (HF) entails the provision of immediate, permanent, low‐barrier supportive housing to chronically homeless individuals within a single building. Studies have shown that greater time spent in HF is associated with reduced publicly funded service utilization and improved health outcomes, but more research is needed to clarify how HF programs might maximize housing stability. In this study, semistructured, qualitative inter…
Housing First, but What Comes Second? A Qualitative Study of Resident, Staff and Management Perspectives on Single‐site Housing First Program Enhancement
Single‐site Housing First (HF) is associated with reduced publicly funded service utilization and costs and alcohol‐related harm for chronically homeless individuals with severe alcohol problems. Many residents, however, continue to experience alcohol‐related problems after their move into single‐site HF. Thus, it is necessary to explore areas for program enhancement after individuals move into single‐site HF. To this end, we collected qualitativ…
Perceptions of twelve-step mutual-help groups and their associations with motivation, treatment attendance and alcohol outcomes among chronically homeless individuals with alcohol problems
Single-site housing first for chronically homeless people
Purpose – Chronic homelessness is a serious public health issue that places a strain on health-care and criminal justice systems. Typical housing models place requirements on chronically homeless individuals that are often experienced as insurmountable barriers to housing. Housing First (HF) models attempt to more effectively reach this population, and an emerging version of this is the single-site HF approach introduced by Seattle’s DESC. Single…
Relative Efficacy of Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention, Standard Relapse Prevention, and Treatment as Usual for Substance Use Disorders
clinicaltrials.gov Identifier: NCT01159535
Exposure to project-based Housing First is associated with reduced jail time and bookings
Housing Retention in Single-Site Housing First for Chronically Homeless Individuals With Severe Alcohol Problems
Objectives. We studied housing retention and its predictors in the single-site Housing First model. Methods. Participants (n = 111) were chronically homeless people with severe alcohol problems who lived in a single-site Housing First program and participated in a larger nonrandomized controlled trial (2005–2008) conducted in Seattle, Washington. At baseline, participants responded to self-report questionnaires assessing demographic, illness burd…
Where harm reduction meets housing first
Findings suggest it is necessary to set aside traditional models of alcohol use and approaches to better understand, align with, and address this population's needs. In doing so, we might gain further insights into how to enhance the existing project-based HF approach by applying more tailored, alcohol-specific, harm reduction interventions
Project-Based Housing First for Chronically Homeless Individuals With Alcohol Problems
Objectives. Two-year alcohol use trajectories were documented among residents in a project-based Housing First program. Project-based Housing First provides immediate, low-barrier, nonabstinence-based, permanent supportive housing to chronically homeless individuals within a single housing project. The study aim was to address concerns that nonabstinence-based housing may enable alcohol use. Methods. A 2-year, within-subjects analysis was conduct…
Agreement between self‐report and archival public service utilization data among chronically homeless individuals with severe alcohol problems
Public service utilization data are often used as key outcomes in studies on homelessness. Although self‐report data on these outcomes are accessible and cost‐effective, various factors may affect retrospective recall in homeless populations. It is therefore necessary to establish validity of self‐report to ensure the integrity of studies involving such populations. Participants ( N =134) were chronically homeless individuals with severe alcohol …
