Digital Interventions for Older People Experiencing Homelessness: Systematic Scoping Review

Digital Interventions for Older People Experiencing Homelessness: Systematic Scoping Review

In the United States, currently, half of single homeless adults are aged 50 and older, compared with 11% in 1990 [9,10]. Further, forecasts from US cohorts project significant growth in aged homelessness in age groups of 50 years and older and 65 years and older, revealing that much of the impact of the postwar baby boom on the aged homeless population is already well underway [11]. Similarly, in Scotland in 2022, 16% of new homeless applications were made by persons older than 50 years [12].

Investigating the Comparative Effectiveness of Place-Based and Scatter-Site Permanent Supportive Housing for People Experiencing Homelessness During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Protocols for a Mixed Methods, Prospective Longitudinal Study

The PCHOOSE study is situated in Los Angeles County, California, which has the nation’s largest unsheltered homeless population [12]. Los Angeles County also represents the country’s largest natural experiment in housing interventions to protect people experiencing homelessness [13] due to a major taxpayer-funded US $1.2 billion homelessness initiative passed in 2016 that resulted in the opening of thousands of new PSH units in Los Angeles County during the pandemic [14].

Melanoma Identification and Management in an Unsheltered Male Using Teledermatology: Street Medicine Perspective

People experiencing homelessness can be sheltered, meaning they are living in a temporary housing facility like a homeless shelter, or unsheltered, meaning they do not have any temporary housing and are living outside. By some estimates, the average life expectancy of people experiencing homelessness is 55 years, more than 20 years below the United States national average [1].

Text Messaging Intervention for Young Smokers Experiencing Homelessness: Lessons Learned From a Randomized Controlled Trial

Despite the high prevalence of smoking and high-risk smoking behaviors negatively impacting the health of homeless youth who smoke, evidence-based smoking cessation programs specifically designed for this population are lacking. This paper is based on our previous research that focused specifically on young homeless smokers and supported the need for cessation programs adapted to this population.
