To fill this gap, we compared diagnoses treated in VA Greater Los Angeles (VAGLA) ambulatory care between Veterans who are formerly homeless\u2014now housed\/case managed through VA Supported Housing (\u201cVASH Veterans\u201d)\u2014and currently homeless. Methods: We performed secondary database analyses of homeless-experienced Veterans (n = 3631) with VAGLA ambulatory care use from October 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011. We compared diagnoses treated\u2014adjusting for demographics and need characteristics in regression analyses\u2014between VASH Veterans (n = 1904) and currently homeless Veterans (n = 1727). Results: On average, considering 26 studied diagnoses, VASH (vs currently homeless) Veterans received care for more ( P &lt; .05) diagnoses (mean = 2.9\/1.7). Adjusting for demographics and need characteristics, VASH Veterans were more likely ( P &lt; .05) than currently homeless Veterans to receive treatment for diagnoses across categories: chronic physical illness, acute physical illness, mental illness, and substance use disorders. Specifically, VASH Veterans had 2.5, 1.7, 2.1, and 1.8 times greater odds of receiving treatment for at least 2 condition in these categories, respectively. Among participants treated for chronic illnesses, adjusting for predisposing and need characteristics, VASH (vs currently homeless) Veterans were 9%, 8%, and 11% more likely to have 2 or more visits for chronic physical illnesses, mental illnesses, and substance use disorder, respectively. Conclusion: Among homeless-experienced Veterans, permanent supported housing may reduce disparities in the treatment of diagnoses commonly seen in ambulatory care.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2150131916656009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,25]],"date-time":"2016-06-25T20:08:18Z","timestamp":1466885298000},"page":"281-287","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Diagnoses Treated in Ambulatory Care Among Homeless-Experienced Veterans"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Sonya","family":"Gabrielian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"VA Greater Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"},{"name":"University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anita H.","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VA Greater Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ronald M.","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VA Greater Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"},{"name":"University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lillian","family":"Gelberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VA Greater Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"},{"name":"University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2150131916656009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ps.201000229"},{"key":"bibr2-2150131916656009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archpsyc.60.9.940"},{"key":"bibr3-2150131916656009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/B:MHSR.0000044746.47589.06"},{"key":"bibr4-2150131916656009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-11-638"},{"key":"bibr5-2150131916656009","volume-title":"A Critical Review of the Literature Regarding Homelessness Among Veterans","author":"Balshem H","year":"2011"},{"key":"bibr6-2150131916656009","unstructured":"US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
