Training Clinicians to Care for Patients Where They Are
Homelessness remains a pervasive, long-standing problem in the United States and is poised to increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals experiencing homelessness bear a higher burden of complex medical and mental health illnesses and often struggle to obtain quality and timely health care. The United States desperately needs to train a workforce to confront this large and growing crisis, but few health professional schools curren…
Housing Boston’s Chronically Homeless Unsheltered Population
OBJECTIVE: The long-term outcomes of permanent supportive housing for chronically unsheltered individuals, or rough sleepers, are largely unknown. We therefore assessed housing outcomes for a group of unsheltered individuals who were housed directly from the streets after living outside for decades. METHODS: Using an open-cohort design, 73 chronically unsheltered individuals were enrolled and housed in permanent supportive housing directly from t…
Mortality Among Unsheltered Homeless Adults in Boston, Massachusetts, 2000-2009
Importance: Previous studies have shown high mortality rates among homeless people in general, but little is known about the patterns of mortality among "rough sleepers," the subgroup of unsheltered urban homeless people who avoid emergency shelters and primarily sleep outside. Objectives: To assess the mortality rates and causes of death for a cohort of unsheltered homeless adults from Boston, Massachusetts. Design, Setting, and Participants: A …
Tobacco-, Alcohol-, and Drug-Attributable Deaths and Their Contribution to Mortality Disparities in a Cohort of Homeless Adults in Boston
Objectives. We quantified tobacco-, alcohol-, and drug-attributable deaths and their contribution to mortality disparities among homeless adults. Methods. We ascertained causes of death among 28 033 adults seen at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program in 2003 to 2008. We calculated population-attributable fractions to estimate the proportion of deaths attributable to tobacco, alcohol, or drug use. We compared attributable mortality rate…
Mortality Among Homeless Adults in Boston
BACKGROUND: Homeless persons experience excess mortality, but US-based studies on this topic are outdated or lack information about causes of death. To our knowledge, no studies have examined shifts in causes of death for this population over time. METHODS: We assessed all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates in a cohort of 28 033 adults 18 years or older who were seen at Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program from January 1, 2003, throu…
Comparing Homeless Persons’ Care Experiences in Tailored Versus Nontailored Primary Care Programs
Objectives. We compared homeless patients’ experiences of care in health care organizations that differed in their degree of primary care design service tailoring. Methods. We surveyed homeless-experienced patients (either recently or currently homeless) at 3 Veterans Affairs (VA) mainstream primary care settings in Pennsylvania and Alabama, a homeless-tailored VA clinic in California, and a highly tailored non-VA Health Care for the Homeless Pro…
The Hunger–Obesity Paradox
The Unmet Health Care Needs of Homeless Adults
Objectives. We assessed the prevalence and predictors of past-year unmet needs for 5 types of health care services in a national sample of homeless adults. Methods. We analyzed data from 966 adult respondents to the 2003 Health Care for the Homeless User Survey, a sample representing more than 436 000 individuals nationally. Using multivariable logistic regression, we determined the independent predictors of each type of unmet need. Results. Seve…
The Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program
During the past 25 years, the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program has evolved into a service model embodying the core functions and essential services of public health. Each year the program provides integrated medical, behavioral, and oral health care, as well as preventive services, to more than 11 000 homeless people. Services are delivered in clinics located in 2 teaching hospitals, 80 shelters and soup kitchens, and an innovative 104…
Boston HealthCare for the Homeless Program
A community coalition dedicated to helping homeless people designed a health care intervention that has become a comprehensive and successful medical and respite care program. Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association
The Need for Homelessness Prevention
This issue of The Journal of Primary Prevention sounds an urgent and compelling clarion call to policy makers, politicians, advocates, clinicians, and to all committed to ending the social tragedy of homelessness in modern America
