Abstract

Introduction: Rapid 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.

Method: 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.

Results: 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.

Conclusion: Our findings suggest the need for targeted intervention for substance use among young people as a mechanism to improve sustainability in RRH programs.

物质使用障碍、精神状况和快速安置无家可归青年的结果：一份简短的报告。

导言：无家可归者的快速重新安置与减少长期无家可归和改善健康状况有关。然而，人们对年轻人的生殖生殖疾病结果知之甚少。方法：本研究考察了不同物质使用障碍（SUD）和精神病学概况的无家可归青年的RRH结果。年轻人在2020年5月至2021年4月期间进入RRH单位。通过结构化评估收集数据。1年后评估住房结果。成功的结果包括租赁续期或项目完成。不成功的结果包括租赁损失或自愿终止。结果：51名年轻人参与了这项研究，大多数参与者认为自己是顺性男性和黑人/非裔美国人。酒精使用障碍的诊断和使用大麻的频率预测成功住房结果的可能性显着降低。结论：我们的研究结果表明，需要对年轻人的物质使用进行有针对性的干预，以提高RRH项目的可持续性。
