Association between housing status and mental health and substance use severity among individuals with opioid use disorder and co-occurring depression and/or PTSD
BMC Primary Care
This is a cross-sectional analysis of associations between housing status and mental health and substance use severity among primary care patients with co-occurring disorders. The study is a sub-analysis using data from the Collaboration Leading to Addiction Treatment and Recovery from other Stresses randomized controlled trial, which tested the Collaborative Care Model for primary care patients with OUD and co-occurring depression and/or PTSD. Of 797 patients in the study, 13% were currently unhoused, 24% were unstably housed, and 63% were stably housed. Those who were unhoused were on average younger and had not used prescribed MOUD in the past 30 days. The analysis found that being unhoused or unstably housed was significantly associated with higher PTSD symptom severity, depression symptom severity, opioid use severity, and opioid overdose risk behaviors compared to those who were stably housed.
