title: Predictors of homelessness among participants in a substance abuse treatment program.
abstract: Risk factors for homelessness were examined prospectively among recent participants in a substance abuse treatment program. Low levels of support from friends, greater depression, and recent substance use were bivariately associated with homelessness two months following completion of the program. However, friend support was the only factor associated with homelessness after controlling for other significant bivariate predictors.
