“…Deinstitutionalization has been named as a possible cause [15], and the inverse association of mental disorders with socioeconomic status has been widely debated [16]. In fact, some scholars consider mental illness to be a risk factor for housing loss [17,18], while others believe housing loss to be the consequence of adverse events and stress [19][20][21][22]. In both cases, a wide range of evidence has been offered, but no definitive answer has been able to conclude this discussion.…”

“…The prevalence of mental disorders is estimated at three to four times higher among homeless populations, with some study estimates suggesting upwards of 50% (Hwang, 2001;Shelton, Taylor, Bonner, & van den Bree, 2009). Further, the prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse amongst the homeless is estimated at six to seven times greater than the general population (Sullivan, Burnam, & Koegel, 2000;Hwang, 2001). Substance dependence is the most common co-occurring disorder associated with severe mental illness, and is recognized as a key contributing factor of homelessness among those with concurrent disorders (Brunette et al, 2004).…”

“…Peu de recherches se sont penchées sur la question de l'utilisation des services par les personnes atteintes de troubles (Sullivan, Burnam et Koegel, 2000 ;Tsemberis, 2004) auxquels s'ajoutent des troubles liés aux substances (Drake, McHugo et Clark, 1998 ;Johnson, Freels, Parsons et Vangeest, 1997 ;McCarthy, Argeriou, Huebner et Lubran, 1991).…”

Contexte : Depuis les années 1990, le Québec vit une vague de désinstitutionnalisation et crée des ressources plus intégrées pour les personnes ayant des troubles concomitants de santé mentale et de toxicomanie. Or, aucune étude au Québec n’a précisé l’utilisation des services par les personnes itinérantes atteintes de troubles concomitants, qui éprouvent plusieurs difficultés à recevoir des services. Objectif : Décrire l’utilisation de services en santé mentale et en toxicomanie de personnes fréquentant les ressources pour personnes itinérantes. Méthode : Les troubles de santé mentale, ceux liés aux substances et les troubles concomitants, et l’utilisation des services relativement à ces problèmes sont décrits à partir des données d’une enquête effectuée auprès de la clientèle utilisant des ressources pour personnes itinérantes de Montréal et de Québec (n=757). Résultats : Vingt-deux pour cent de la population qui utilise des ressources a éprouvé des troubles concomitants au cours d’une année. Ces personnes n’utilisent pas plus les services de santé mentale ou ceux liés à la toxicomanie que les personnes n’ayant que le type de problème en question, et ces taux d’utilisation de services sont très bas. Conclusion : Des pistes de solutions (logements supervisés, programmes PACT) sont suggérées et les efforts d’intégration doivent se continuer afin d’améliorer l’accessibilité aux soins de cette clientèle.Context: Since the 90’s, the province of Quebec pass through a deinstitutionalization process and integrated resources for people having concurrent mental health and drug related disorders were created. In Quebec, no study specified the utilization of services by homeless people with concurrent disorders, a population who face difficulties in receiving services. Objective: To describe utilization of mental health and substance related disorders services of clientele using resources intended for homeless people. Methods: This study uses data from a survey conducted on the clientele of resources for homeless persons in Montreal and Quebec city (n=757). Mental health problems, substance use disorders and concurrent disorders, as well as utilization of services related to these problems by clientele from resources for homeless people are presented. Results: Twenty-two percent of this population had concurrent disorders during a one-year period. They don’t use more mental health and substance related disorders services than those with a single problem and their utilization of these services is very low. Conclusion: Some suggestions are brought (supportive housing, PACT programs) and it is proposed to continue working on integration of services in order to improve accessibility for this clientele.Contexto: desde la década del 90 se produce en Quebec una ola de desinstitucionalización, acompañada por la creación de recursos más integrados para quienes padecen problemas concomitantes de salud mental y toxicomanía.
