Scarcity and cognitive ability: the role of support services among people at-risk of or experiencing homelessness.
This study investigates the role of support services, in particular, emergency relief, and how it may lessen the cognitive burden among people experiencing (financial) scarcity and at-risk of or experiencing homelessness (n = 1070). The results indicate that cognitive ability does not depend on whether one is homeless, holding other things constant. The results also indicate that the measures of scarcity's associations with cognitive ability are heterogeneous. In addition, having asked friends or family for financial help is positively associated with cognitive ability; while not being able to pay one's utility bills on time is negatively associated with cognitive ability, statistically significant at the 10% level. Furthermore, the association between having had to go without food when one is hungry and emergency relief depends on both the key scarcity measure and its interaction term, statistically significant at the 10% and 5% level, respectively.
期刊介绍：
Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management.
For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
