Homelessness And Substance Use Disorder
In the February 2024 Housing & Health issue of Health Affairs, W. David Bradford and Felipe Lozano-Rojas of the University of Georgia calculate the effects of homelessness on substance use disorder (SUD)-related mortality ([link removed] ) .
The authors find that “reducing local homelessness rates from the seventy-fifth to the fiftieth percentile levels could have saved more than 1,900 lives from opioid overdoses across all metropolitan localities” in the final year of the study.
Bradford and Lozano-Rojas conclude that improving housing security could help address the SUD-related poisoning epidemic in the US, and that further research into the causal relationships between housing and poisoning mortality is needed.
To learn more about their findings, watch a video abstract ([link removed] ) featuring authors Bradford and Lozano-Rojas below.
