Abstract

The main objective of the present study is to estimate the prevalence of severe mental and substance use disorders in homeless people (HP). The work was carried out on the basis of data obtained from a representative sample of HP in Avilés (Asturias) (n = 100) using the International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I.). The results of our study reveal a close relationship between substance use and homelessness. More than half of the HP have substance use disorders compared to substance use problems in the general population. Psychosocial care and the organization of a support network for the HP are discussed
