“…The results are consistent with many other studies on QoL of mentally ill. The studies showed significant differences in quality of life of clinical and non-clinical groups (Murphy, H. and Murphy, E.K., 2006), greater QOL variability in patients with low function scores compared to those with medium and high function scores (Becker, T., et al ,2005), quality of life was associated with decreased psychotic and depressive symptoms, reduced substance abuse, fewer days of homelessness, and increased social support, income, employment, and service use ( Lam, J.A. and Rosenheck, R. ,2000 ).…”

Homelessness due to chronic mental illness has become a major burden for most of the resource poor countries. The Kerala State in India has witnessed the efforts from the faith based organizations and religiously oriented families in the care and rehabilitation of the homeless mentally ill. This paper explores the processes used by these facilities for the care and rehabilitation of homeless mentally ill. Data were collected from the chief functionary of rehabilitation facilities, persons with mental illness residing in the rehabilitation centers, and volunteer care providers using interview schedules for the study of rehabilitation processes and profile of chief functionary and care providers. Otehre tools were, WHO QoL to measure the quality of life and level of functioning scale and Global Assessment of Functioning Scale for measuring the functioning. The care providers' orientation to mental illness was assessed using Orientation to Mental Illness Scale (Prabhu, 1983). 65% of the centers displayed above average patient care services whereas 25% had poor overall quality of patient care services. The residents showed moderate level of quality of life in the area of physical health, psychological health, social relationships and high level of quality of life in the * Asst Professor of Social Work, Rajagiri School of Social Sciences, Kerala; anishkrk@gmail.com.

“…In addition, the experience of criminal victimization exerts a small prospective influence on worse quality of life outcomes among persons with severe mental illness. Specifically, in a multisite sample of over nearly 2000 homeless persons with severe mental illness, Lam and Rosenheck (1998) found that more self-reported criminal victimization experiences at baseline were associated with poorer life satisfaction at 3-and 12-month follow-ups.…”

“…The rationale for this is that residence in impoverished areas with higher rates of crime places individuals at greater risk of being criminally victimized. There is evidence for this hypothesis from cross-sectional studies indicating that residence in poor urban areas is associated with higher rates of criminal victimization among people with mental illness (Hiday, Swartz, Swanson, Borum, & Wagner, 1999;Lam & Rosenheck, 1998). Prospective studies are lacking in this area.…”

Outcomes for health conditions are typically the result of multiple factors; however, studies tend to focus on a narrow class of variables. Functioning and well-being outcomes for schizophrenia are diverse and have resisted simple explanation; however, prior research has not offered an integrated understanding of the relative contributions of enduring and episodic environmental factors, personal resources and psychiatric factors, and cognitive appraisal and coping, on functioning and well-being outcomes in schizophrenia. The present article sets out an integrated model of the determinants of functioning and well-being among individuals with schizophrenia. To examine evidence that bears on the model, literature on hypothesized relationships is reviewed to identify areas for which there is strong evidence and areas where more research is needed. The article suggests areas for further research, and directs researchers and practitioners toward areas of intervention that can enhance functioning and well-being for persons diagnosed with schizophrenia.

“…Shinn et al (1998) and Weitzman et al (1990) found higher earlier exposure to violence among families that entered homeless shelters relative to those that remained housed, but Lehmann et al (2007) and Shelton et al (2009) In the U.S., 0.9 percent of people 12 and over reported being physically assaulted in 2014 (Truman & Langton, 2015). While everyone faces some risk of victimisation, people of lower socioeconomic status (Hotaling & Sugarman, 1990) and homeless people face much higher risks (Burt et al, 2001;Fischer, 1992;Garland et al, 2010;Geissler et al, 1995;Kipke et al, 1997;Lam & Rosenheck, 1998;Lee & Shreck, 2005;Wenzel et al, 2001). …”

“…A large research literature documents how domestic violence is associated with women's and children's subsequent homelessness (see, e.g., Bassuk et al, 2001; Flinders Institute for Housing, Urban and Regional Research, 2008;Weitzman et al, 1990). Studies also show that homeless men and women suffer higher rates of victimisation than their housed counterparts (Burt et al, 2001;Jasinski et al, 2005;Lam & Rosenheck, 1998;Lee & Schreck, 2005;Wenzel et al, 2001). However, less is known about how violence might trigger men's housing problems.…”

Terms of use: Documents in D I S C U S S I O N P A P E R S E R I E S A Longitudinal Analysis of Violence and Housing Insecurity ABSTRACT A Longitudinal Analysis of Violence and Housing Insecurity *Violence and housing insecurity are horrible events that may be intertwined, with violence possibly forcing victims to abandon their accommodations and housing insecurity depriving people of the safety of a home or placing them in compromised circumstances. This study uses national, prospective, longitudinal data from the Journeys Home Survey to examine how violence, housing insecurity, and other characteristics in one period affect disadvantaged Australian men's and women's chances of experiencing violence and housing insecurity in subsequent periods. The study is one of the first to investigate these relationships prospectively and unusual in considering how violence among adult men contributes to their housing insecurity. We estimate dynamic multivariate models that control for observed and time-invariant unobserved characteristics and find that men's chances of being housing secure without experiencing violence are 24-45 percent lower and women's chances are 12-20 percent lower if they experienced housing insecurity, violence or both in the previous period. Heavy drinking, marijuana use, psychological distress, and a history of childhood abuse and neglect also increase the risks of violence and housing insecurity for both genders, while the presence of children reduces these risks. Women who are bisexual or lesbian and women with homeless friends also face elevated risks of housing insecurity, while men's sexual orientation and friend networks seem less relevant.JEL Classification: J1, R2

Abstract: These findings suggest the critical need for service providers who work with homeless people with serious mental illness to assess the extent to which they have been victims of crime and to address issues of victimization and safety along with psychiatric and social adjustment problems.
