Characterizing Alcohol Use Behaviors among Homeless Men and Women

Year: 2018

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: High rates of at-risk drinking were found among alcohol users. Homeless men and women did not exhibit differences in several manifestations of problematic alcohol use. Alcohol use interventions might be equally appealing to both sexes given equivalent readiness to change drinking; however, rates of recent treatment receipt were low.
