对无家可归人口未得到满足的需求的性别、种族和民族差异的研究不足。这项研究分析了2012年至2016年社区无家可归评估项目、地方教育和网络小组(CHALENG)调查收集的5年数据,以研究“真正无家可归”的退伍军人(即生活在街道、避难所、车辆或任何其他不适合居住的地方的退伍军人)的性别、种族和民族差异。在7,040名参与者中,有6,335名男性和705名女性无家可归的退伍军人,他们来自4个自我认定的种族/民族类别(白色,黑人,西班牙裔和其他)。结果显示,无家可归的女性退伍军人比男性退伍军人更有可能报告与紧急住所,过渡住房和牙科护理相关的未满足需求。在男性中,白色退伍军人在住房、医疗保健、基本需求和特殊需求方面的未满足需求比种族/少数民族退伍军人更大。在妇女中,少数种族/族裔退伍军人报告的未满足需求比白色退伍军人更多。这些研究结果表明,对性别,种族和民族的方案关注在解决无家可归的退伍军人和专业服务的不同需求是很重要的,可能需要解决他们的具体和一贯的未满足的需求。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2023阿帕,保留所有权利)
There has been insufficient research on gender, race, and ethnic differences in unmet needs of homeless populations. This study analyzed 5 years of data collected by Project Community Homelessness Assessment, Local Education, and Networking Groups (CHALENG) surveys from 2012 to 2016 to examine gender, race, and ethnic differences in “literally homeless” veterans (ie, veterans living in the streets, shelters, vehicles, or any other place not meant for habitation). Of 7,040 participants, there were 6,335 male and 705 female literally homeless veterans from 4 self-identified racial/ethnic categories (White, Black, Hispanic, and Other). The results showed that homeless female veterans were significantly more likely to report unmet needs related to emergency shelter, transitional housing, and dental care than male veterans. Among men, White veterans reported greater unmet needs in housing, healthcare, basic needs, and specialized needs than racial/ethnic minority veterans. Among women, veterans who were racial/ethnic minorities reported greater unmet needs than their White counterparts. These findings suggest programmatic attention to gender, race, and ethnicity is important in addressing diverse needs of homeless veterans and specialized services may be needed to address their specific and consistent unmet needs.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
