Brief Summary
This is a single-arm pilot study to test the feasibility of homelessness prevention and substance use interventions to be delivered to at-risk patients in the Bellevue Hospital emergency department (ED). ED patients (n=40) found eligible for the study will complete a baseline assessment and receive referrals to appropriate services, with a final six-month follow-up assessment.
Detailed Description
ED patients found eligible for the study will complete a baseline survey and receive one-time, in person services at the time of the baseline/enrollment ED visit including referrals to homelessness prevention and substance use services, with a final six-month follow-up survey. Interim contacts at 7-10 days, 3 months, and 5 months will be used to assure intervention components were received and to confirm participant contact information.
