A series of matched controls who were homeless but not placed in...
Media link events in society into meaningful plotlines for public consumption. For social issues such as homelessness this storytelling process continues until an issue is resolved or another concern takes precedence. This article investigates British Independent Television News1 (ITN) portrayals of homelessness from January 1993 to December 2002 (n = 99). News items are explored as instalments...

We compare the findings of Cusack et al. to our own original research, based on interviews with service...

Specialist integrated homeless health and care provision (SIHHC) schemes have been developed and implemented to facilitate the safe and timely discharge of homeless patients from hospital.

BACKGROUND Homelessness is believed to be a cause of health problems and high medical costs, but data supporting this association have been difficult to obtain. We compared lengths of stay and reasons for hospital admission among homeless and other low-income persons in New York City to estimate the hospitalization costs associated with homelessness. METHODS We obtained hospital-discharge dat...
The manner in which disparate affective responses shape attitudes toward other individuals has received a great deal of attention in neuroscience research.
