Abstract:
Homeless veterans are likely to experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Homelessness itself is traumatic, and PTSD may exacerbate homelessness risk for veterans. Often, PTSD goes untreated in this subpopulation of veterans. Our study examined trauma-focused treatment (TFT) and non-TFT initiation and completion in a sample of housed and homeless veterans being served by a PTSD clinical team in Washington, DC. Findings included a high percentage of veterans who experienced homelessness in the sample and lower treatment completion rates among homeless veterans compared to housed veterans. This difference was no longer significant when comparing only those veterans who engaged in treatment, reinforcing the critical role of treatment engagement in successful treatment completion across populations.
