We examined risk factors for long-term homelessness among newly homeless men and women who were admitted to New York City shelters in 2001 and 2002.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods. Interviews were conducted with 377 study participants upon entry into the shelter and at 6-month intervals for 18 months. Standardized assessments of psychiatric diagnosis, symptoms, and coping skills; social and family history; and service use were analyzed. Kaplan\u2014Meier survival analysis and Cox regression were used to examine the association between baseline assessments and duration of homelessness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results. Eighty-one percent of participants returned to community housing during the follow-up period; the median duration of homelessness was 190 days. Kaplan\u2014Meier survival analysis showed that a shorter duration of homelessness was associated with younger age, current or recent employment, earned income, good coping skills, adequate family support, absence of a substance abuse treatment history, and absence of an arrest history. Cox regression showed that older age group P&lt;.05) and arrest history (P&lt;.01) were the strongest predictors of a longer duration of homelessness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions. Identification of risk factors for long-term homelessness can guide efforts to reduce lengths of stay in homeless shelters and to develop new preventive interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2005.063321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,8,30]],"date-time":"2005-08-30T23:09:21Z","timestamp":1125443361000},"page":"1753-1759","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":247,"title":["Risk Factors for Long-Term Homelessness: Findings From a Longitudinal Study of First-Time Homeless Single Adults"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"95","author":[{"given":"Carol L.
