Abstract

Adults experiencing homelessness experience a disproportionate burden of health disparities which has further exacerbated mental health, substance use, and coping during the COVID-19 pandemic. As limited data is available to understand the experience of adults experiencing homelessness and their health during this time, the purpose of this study was to explore how COVID-19 may have impacted their mental health, substance use, and ways of coping in this population. Using community-based participatory research, a community advisory board was established and remote individual interviews with 21 adults experiencing homelessness and 10 providers were conducted in Skid Row, Los Angeles. Using a qualitative, data analytic approach, the following major themes emerged: (1) Negative Impact of COVID-19 on Mental Health; (2) Negative Impact of COVID-19 on Limitation of Harm Reduction Services; and (3) Coping Strategies Utilized During the COVID-19 Pandemic. More research is needed to understand the impact of this pandemic on underserved communities.

无家可归的成年人及其提供者对应对COVID-19大流行对心理健康、物质使用和减少伤害服务的影响的看法

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间，无家可归的成年人承受着不成比例的健康差距负担，这进一步加剧了心理健康、药物使用和应对问题。由于可用于了解在此期间无家可归的成年人的经历及其健康状况的数据有限，因此本研究的目的是探讨COVID-19如何影响他们的心理健康、物质使用以及应对这一人群的方式。利用基于社区的参与性研究，建立了一个社区咨询委员会，并对洛杉矶Skid Row的21名无家可归的成年人和10名提供者进行了远程个人访谈。采用定性数据分析方法，得出以下主要主题:(1)COVID-19对心理健康的负面影响;(2)新冠肺炎疫情对减害服务局限性的负面影响;(3)新冠肺炎大流行期间的应对策略。需要进行更多的研究，以了解这一流行病对服务不足的社区的影响。
