A previous editorial by the Editor-in-Chief discusses public health and steps towards recovery from the COVID-19 disaster. In addition to the current public health disasters, and multiple disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons and hurricanes, worldwide recession, and global morbidity and mortality, the authors would like to highlight the need for responses to deal with the well-being of the homeless population due to their condition and vulnerability in the society. People who are experiencing homelessness are considered vulnerable and "preferential options for the homeless" must be considered.

Background: Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and homelessness are major public health problems with elevated prevalence among people diagnosed with bipolar disorder (BD). While CSA is a known risk factor for homelessness, little research has examined sex differences in the relationship between CSA and adult homelessness among people with BD.
Methods: This study tested whether sex moderates the CSA-homelessness relationship such that greater CSA severity predicts higher risk of adult homelessness for females but not males.
