Services and intervention research with homeless persons: DHHS and NIH
|
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) invite applications for health services research projects designed to increase understanding of the efficiency, effectiveness, and diffusion of services provided to homeless persons with alcohol, drug abuse, or mental (ADM) disorders.
This program announcement (PA) encourages innovative and theory-driven empirical research to examine the organization, management, integration, and financing of services, as well as the impact of these factors, on the quality, cost, access, utilization, outcomes, and cost analyses of care. Of particular interest are investigations of services for persons who suffer from co-occurring alcohol, drug abuse, and mental disorders and for persons at risk for or who have HIV/AIDS or other serious health problems.
This PA also encourages research that will expedite the dissemination, implementation, and adoption of effective treatment and prevention efforts for homeless persons with ADM disorders. Interdisciplinary research teams, and research partnerships with providers and consumers across multiple systems in community settings, are strongly encouraged. Such settings may include, but are not limited to, shelters and food programs, parole and correctional settings, non-traditional or ad hoc service settings, or street-based, transitional, and special housing programs.
Proposed research may focus on any of the identified disorder areas, either alone or in combination with each other or with HIV/AIDS or other serious medical conditions. In fact, the joint sponsorship of this PA by NIAAA, NIDA, and NIMH results from the recognition that the co-occurrence of multiple problems and disorders among homeless persons is more typical than the presence of a single disorder by itself.
