Abstract

Abstract Housing has long been considered a social determinant of individual and population health. Older adults with low incomes face several challenges to maintaining stable, affordable housing. Using data from a previous explanatory study of older adults waitlisted for housing assistance (n = 267), we explore individual characteristics and themes associated with older adults’ perceived housing instability and risk of future homelessness. This mixed-methods study identifies salient themes of financial insecurity, age discrimination, employment and health, interpersonal relationships, and trauma. Our analysis and findings highlight experiences of instability over the life course related to older adults’ current housing circumstances.

老年人的终身不稳定和未来无家可归的感知风险

摘要长期以来，住房一直被认为是个人和人口健康的社会决定因素。低收入的老年人在维持稳定、负担得起的住房方面面临着一些挑战。使用先前对等待住房援助的老年人进行的解释性研究的数据（n = 267），我们探讨了与老年人感知的住房不稳定和未来无家可归风险相关的个人特征和主题。这项混合方法研究确定了经济不安全、年龄歧视、就业和健康、人际关系和创伤等突出主题。我们的分析和发现突出了与老年人当前住房环境有关的生活过程中的不稳定经历。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
