本文介绍了初步结果，从多阶段的定量研究“多重排斥无家可归”（MEH）在七个城市的位置在英国各地。它表明，与“严重社会排斥”有关的一系列经历-即无家可归、滥用药物、机构照料和“街头文化”活动（如乞讨和街头饮酒）-之间存在高度重叠。报告还提供了证据支持以下论点，即无家可归是一种特别普遍的排斥形式，据报告，无家可归的经历在那些获得低门槛支助服务的人中很普遍，这些服务针对的是严重排斥的其他方面，如滥用药物。此外，所提出的分析表明，MEH的性质在地理上各不相同，受影响的人口概况在威斯敏斯特（伦敦）看起来与其他城市地区大不相同。对此的主要解释似乎是威斯敏斯特的MEH人口中移民比例特别高，他们往往报告的个人创伤和脆弱性的总体水平低于土著MEH人口。
This article presents preliminary results from a multi-stage quantitative study of 'multiple exclusion homelessness' (MEH) in seven urban locations across the UK. It demonstrates a very high degree of overlap between a range of experiences associated with 'deep social exclusion' - namely, homelessness, substance misuse, institutional care and 'street culture' activities (such as begging and street drinking). It also provides evidence to support the contention that homelessness is a particularly prevalent form of exclusion, with its experience reported as widespread by those accessing low threshold support services targeted at other dimensions of deep exclusion, such as drug misuse. Further, the analysis presented indicates that the nature of MEH varies geographically, with the profile of the population affected looking quite different in Westminster (London) than in the other urban locations. The main explanation for this appears to be the exceptionally high proportion of migrants in the MEH population in Westminster, who tend to report lower overall levels of personal trauma and vulnerability than the indigenous MEH population.
