1. Veterans' lived experiences with transitioning from prison: an evaluation of goals and barriers to success after incarceration.
PMID:日期:2026-03-26Veterans transitioning from prison are at risk for numerous negative psychosocial outcomes, such as death from drug overdose and suicide, homelessness, unemployment, and reincarceration. There is an identified gap in understanding the lived experiences of these veterans, including their goals and the barriers and facilitators of reaching these goals. Fifty-four veterans recently released from prison (within three years for men and within five years for women) were interviewed to assess their lived experiences, goals, and needs reentering the community post-incarceration. We identified six transition-related goals: attaining housing, gaining employment, accessing mental health and medical care, maintaining sobriety, improving relationships, and avoiding reincarceration. We also identified eight drivers that shaped movement toward or away from these goals. These drivers captured the interpretive, emotional, and behavioral processes, formed through military service and incarceration, that influenced how veterans assessed situations, regulated stress, engaged with relationships, and responded to challenges during reentry. Attending to both the goals veterans hold and the interpretive frameworks that guide how they navigate reentry provides a more complete understanding of veteran transition experiences.

2. Suicidal Risk in Youth Experiencing Homelessness: Patterns Associated with Problem-Solving and Cognitive Distortions.
PMID:日期:2025-04-19Youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) exhibit depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation at much higher rates than the general population (Burke et al., 2022), with suicide the leading cause of mortality among YEH (Auerswald et al., 2016), likely due to a confluence of stressors (Budescu et al., 2021). To better prevent suicide, understanding factors associated with suicidal risk, such as cognitive distortions and problem-solving, has been a focus of prior research (Wilson et al., 2011). However, little is known about the relationship between these factors and suicidal risk among YEH. Using baseline data from a study with suicidal YEH ( = 150), correlation and mediation analyses were completed to determine the associations between cognitive distortions, problem-solving, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation. Higher cognitive distortions and poorer problem-solving were significantly associated with depressive symptomology. Additionally, negative problem orientation was a significant mediator of the pathway between cognitive distortions and depressive symptoms. However, we found no relationships among the variables to suicidal ideation. Likewise, sex-at-birth was not significant as a moderator. Findings suggest that negative problem orientation could be an important target for preventing depressive symptoms among YEH experiencing cognitive distortions, and future research is recommended to confirm this relationship.

3. Substance use disorders, psychiatric conditions, and rapid re-housing outcomes for youth experiencing homelessness: A brief report.
PMID:日期:2024-10-21Rapid re-housing (RRH) for individuals experiencing homelessness is associated with decreased chronic homelessness and better health outcomes. However, little is known about young people's RRH outcomes. The present study examines RRH outcomes for youth experiencing homelessness of varying substance use disorder (SUD) and psychiatric profiles. Young people entered RRH units between May 2020 and April 2021. Data were gathered via structured assessment. Housing outcomes were assessed after 1 year. Successful outcomes included lease renewal or program completion. Unsuccessful outcomes included loss of lease or voluntary termination. Fifty-one young people participated in this study, with most participants identifying as cis male and Black/African American. Diagnosis of alcohol use disorder and frequency of cannabis use predicted significantly lower likelihood of successful housing outcomes. Our findings suggest the need for targeted intervention for substance use among young people as a mechanism to improve sustainability in RRH programs.

4. Unaccompanied Homelessness Among High School Students Across Ten States: Prevalence and risk in multiple domains.
PMID:日期:2024-10-16Unaccompanied homelessness during adolescence is a risk factor for varied poor outcomes, yet enumeration efforts struggle to provide feasible results and few analyses consider how risk might differ for this group. We consider data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey from 10 states that asked about unaccompanied homelessness and sleeping arrangement. Students who experienced any form of homelessness were at higher risk for poor outcomes and other risk experiences. Few students reported both unaccompanied homelessness and usually sleeping in a homeless situation. Youth experiencing unaccompanied homelessness had higher risk for alcohol problems and lower risk for severe drug use and poor grades compared to students who experienced other forms of homelessness; otherwise they had similar levels of risk for poor outcomes. Results are consistent with the view that students who experience unaccompanied homeless are a distinguishable subpopulation of students who experience homelessness and are at high levels of risk of poor outcomes.

5. Patterns of Service Needs and Use by Subgroups of Youth Experiencing Homelessness.
PMID:日期:2024-04-22Service use predicts exit from homelessness and improvements in physical and mental health among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH). However, service use among YEH remains low. This study uniquely examined youths' reported needs and patterns of service use during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Baseline data were examined from a large opioid prevention project conducted in a midwestern, service-rich metropolitan area. YEH (n = 240), between the ages of 18-24 years, were recruited from a drop-in center and other non-service locations. Youth completed self-report questionnaires about their service needs and utilization over the prior three months. The most common services YEH needed were housing (n = 233, 97.5%), drop-in center (n = 194, 81.2%), identification and birth certificates (n = 118, 49.6%), medical care (n=110, 46.0%), dental care (n = 106, 44.4%), employment counseling (n = 97, 40.6%) and mental health and emotional life counseling (n = 91, 38.1%). Most service needs were unfulfilled. Youth showed extreme service need overall, but other than drop-in centers, the youth reported limited use of most services. The limited use of needed services underscores the importance of future efforts toward improving service use for those in need.

6. Risk factors of homelessness among sexual and gender minorities in the Southeastern U.S.
PMID:日期:2023-11-03Homelessness disproportionately impacts sexual and gender minority (SGM) people, however, few studies have examined factors that predict homelessness among SGM adults. The present secondary analysis of a survey of SGM adults living in the Southeastern U.S. in 2016 ( = 427) assessed factors associated with report of past or current homelessness, which was endorsed by 17% of participants. Congruent with our hypotheses, past socioeconomic status (SES), current SES, mental health, and race were all significant predictors and accounted for 50.5% of variance in homelessness in this population. Discrimination and housing access difficulties did not account for a significant portion of variance over and above these factors. Factors contributing to poverty and psychological distress are needed to address housing disparities for SGM adults. Discrimination factors may have become more salient since 2016. Future research is warranted to better support SGM individuals, particularly those living in the South.

7. Relations between Distress Tolerance and Psychosocial Variables in Adults Experiencing Homelessness.
PMID:日期:2023-03-27Distress Tolerance (DT) is a transdiagnostic factor that may help better understand vulnerability to mental health problems. This study explores DT among recently incarcerated adults experiencing homelessness (RIHAs). Participants (298) were recruited from an ongoing clinical trial at a homeless shelter in Texas. Cross-sectional linear regression analyses were conducted to examine the relations between DT subconstructs (tolerance, appraisal, regulation, and absorption) and psychosocial factors (depression, aggression, hostility, anxiety, and stress) in a sample of RIHAs. Lower DT absorption was associated with greater depression, aggression, hostility, anxiety, and stress. Lower DT appraisal was associated with greater hostility, anxiety, and stress. Greater DT regulation was associated with lower hostility and stress (<.05). DT tolerance was unrelated to any psychosocial factors. DT subscales are associated with psychosocial factors among RIHAs. Future research should assess the feasibility of interventions that enhance DT absorption and appraisal coping among RIHAs.

8. Couch-Surfing and Mental Health Outcomes among Sexual Minority Adolescents.
PMID:日期:2022-11-10Sexual minority youth are at more than twice the risk of experiencing homelessness than their peers and both sexual minority youth and youth experiencing homelessness have disproportionate risk for mental health disorder symptoms. Couch-surfing is a common form of homelessness experienced by youth, but research on the relationship between couch-surfing and mental health outcomes, especially among sexual minority adolescents (SMA), is limited. Utilizing a sample of 2,558 SMA (14-17 years old) recruited via social media and respondent-driven sampling, this study explores the relationship between different forms of homelessness (exclusive couch-surfing vs. multiple types of homelessness) and symptoms of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt. Nearly 21% of participants experienced any homelessness in their lifetime, with 14% reporting exclusive couch-surfing. All forms of homelessness were associated with large increases in symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation and suicide attempt. Homelessness - primarily couch-surfing - is a common experience for SMA in this sample. All forms of homelessness - including exclusive couch-surfing - were associated with large increases in depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt, emphasizing the importance of services that are available to couch-surfing young people and responsive to the needs of sexual minority adolescents.

9. Development and validation of the housing instability scale.
PMID:日期:2022-09-30Despite increasing attention to the importance of examining factors that impact housing instability and homelessness, the field lacks a validated scale of housing instability. The current study examined the reliability and validity of a seven-item scale that measures housing instability. Data were taken from a larger study which implemented the Domestic Violence Housing First model across five domestic violence agencies in the Pacific Northwest. A total of 406 participants were interviewed every six months over a period of two years. A Spanish version of the scale was administered to Spanish-speaking participants. Results provide an overview of the psychometric functioning of the scale and support its utility in assessing housing instability and homelessness. Specifically, the scale demonstrated concurrent and predictive validity, and showed evidence of scalar equivalence over time and across both language and locality. The current scale is therefore a succinct and psychometrically sound measure of housing instability which can be used moving forward to track housing instability in English and Spanish speakers, as well as in urban and rural settings.

10. The effect of violent crime history on success rates of individualized placement and support.
PMID:日期:2022-07-04Individualized Placement and Support-Supported Employment (IPS-SE) has been shown to be successful assisting those with mental illness and/or substance use disorders who have histories of incarceration find employment. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a hybrid IPS-SE program for working with individuals with violent and non-violent offenses. This study compared two cohorts of U.S. veterans with histories of prison incarceration, 60 receiving IPS-SE plus a vocational group and 59 receiving group only. Follow-up was six months. Those receiving IPS-SE had superior employment outcomes compared to those receiving group alone within both those convicted of violent and non-violent offenses. The findings here highlight the benefits of IPS-SE across the type of crimes convicted.
