Abstract

Aim The aim of this cross sectional study was to establish the extent of psychiatric morbidity among homeless men and compare this group with a sample of formerly homeless. Method [corrected] 82 homeless and a comparison group of 37 formerly homeless were interviewed using a psychopathological interview according to AMDP (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für medizinische Dokumentation) as well as selected modules of the CIDI (Composite International Diagnostic Interview). Diagnoses were established according to ICD-10. Results The lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders was 95.1 %, the current prevalence was 87.8 %. Substance related disorders were the most common group of disorders. In the formerly homeless prevalences were slightly lower. Conclusions Psychiatric morbidity among the homeless is high. Services have to be tailored to meet the needs of this special group. Formerly homeless continue to need intensive psychiatric input.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
