This study aims to explore the relationship between the context of screening for housing instability and Veterans' access to services, with the goal of ensuring effective processes to address housing instability among Veterans. This study used administrative data from 100,022 Veterans' electronic medical records and qualitative data collected during in-depth interviews with 22 health care providers and six Homeless Program staff. A mixed effects logistic regression assessed the relationship between Veterans' screening experiences and connection with services; qualitative data were analyzed using a grounded theory approach to present providers' reflections on administering screening for housing instability and responding to Veterans' positive screens with needed resources. We observed a significant relationship between providers' roles and location of screening with patients' timely linkage with services. Providing additional training related to how to conduct the screen and provide required resources, shifting screening responsibilities to providers with more flexibility to address these needs, and embedding supportive services in the care team may improve post-screening linkage with services.

Background: Limited data exist describing the influence of pharmacist-led transition of care (TOC) services in safety-net hospital settings.
Objective: This analysis assessed the impact of pharmacist-led TOC services on hospital readmissions in a high-risk managed Medicaid population impacted by housing instability, substance use disorder (SUD), and mental health issues.
Methods: A retrospective evaluation of patients who received safety-net hospital-based TOC pharmacy services between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022, was conducted.
The effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for reducing problematic substance use, mental ill health, and housing instability in people experiencing homelessness in high income countries: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Campbell Syst Rev

Policy Evaluation and Research Unit Manchester Metropolitan University Manchester UK.
Background: Adults experiencing homelessness in high income countries often also face issues of problematic substance use, mental ill health, in addition to housing instability, so it is important to understand what interventions might help address these issues. While there is growing evidence of the effectiveness of psychosocial interventions for the general population, limited evidence exists specifically for those experiencing homelessness.
Objectives: To summarise the existing evidence of whether psychosocial interventions work in reducing problematic substance use, mental ill health, and housing instability for adults experiencing homelessness in high income countries.

Housing instability is widely recognized as a major environmental factor that significantly shapes both health and overall well-being. This study added to the existing literature by examining the longitudinal relationship between housing-related hardship and self-rated health. Moreover, this study explored health behaviors-specifically substance use and lifestyle behaviors-as potential mediators that link housing hardship to health.

The Trypanosoma brucei genome is structurally complex. Eleven megabase-sized chromosomes each comprise a transcribed core flanked by silent subtelomeres, housing thousands of Variant Surface Glycoprotein (VSG) genes. Additionally, hundreds of sub-megabase chromosomes contain 177 bp repeats of unknown function, and VSG transcription sites localise to many telomeres.
