本研究项目的启动是为了提供证据基础。这项研究的一个关键方面是确保更好地了解无家可归与药物使用之间的关系对改善和发展服务的提供具有实际意义，因此，研究结论侧重于如何发展服务，以更好地满足同时吸毒或酗酒的无家可归者的需要。
研究分为三个部分。在伦敦对389名无家可归者进行了采访-这是英国最大的关于无家可归和毒品的调查之一。唯一的入选标准是在过去的六个月里至少有六个晚上睡得不好。还对服务提供者进行了深入的主题访谈。这些访谈旨在深入了解从业人员在为无家可归的吸毒者提供服务时所看到的关键问题。因此，其中一些人来自毒品部门，另一些人来自无家可归领域。
最后，在2001年秋天，我们再次访问了伦敦的服务提供商，举行了一系列会议，以了解他们的经验在这一年中是否发生了变化，以及如何发生变化。我们利用这些信息制定了报告的最终方向。
This research project was initiated to provide that evidence base. A key aspect of the study has been to ensure that an improved understanding of the relationship between homelessness and substance use will have practical relevance for improving and developing service provision.The conclusions therefore focus on how services can be developed to better meet the needs of homeless people who are also drug or alcohol users.
There were three parts to the study. Interviews with 389 homeless people were conducted in London – one of the largest surveys in Britain looking at homelessness and drugs. The only criterion for inclusion in the study was sleeping rough for at least six nights in the last six months. In-depth, themed interviews with service providers were also conducted. These interviews were designed to provide insight into what practitioners see as the key issues when providing services to homeless drug users. Some of these people therefore came from the drug sector and others from the homelessness field.
Finally, in the autumn of 2001, we re-visited London-based service providers in a series of meetings to find out whether and how their experiences had changed in the intervening year.We used this information to shape the final direction of the report.
