The current longitudinal study evaluated the individual, housing, and neighborhood characteristics predictive of feeling psychologically integrated within one's neighborhood among a population of homeless and vulnerably housed individuals. Participants were recruited at homeless shelters, meal programs, and rooming houses in Ottawa, Canada and participated in three in-person interviews, each approximately 1 year apart. Prospective and cross-sectional predictors of psychological integration at Follow-up 1 and Follow-up 2 were examined. There were 397 participants at baseline, 341 at Follow-up 1 and 320 at Follow-up 2. A hierarchical multiple regression uncovered several significant predictors of psychological integration. The most salient and common predictors were being older, having greater social support, living in high quality housing, and residing in a neighborhood with a positive impact. Implications for service provision and policy advancements are discussed.
当前的纵向研究评估了无家可归者和住房条件差的人群中，预测其在社区中心理融入感的个人、住房和社区特征。研究参与者从加拿大渥太华的无家可归者收容所、施粥项目和出租公寓招募，并参加了三次面对面访谈，每次访谈间隔约1年。研究考察了随访1和随访2时心理融入的前瞻性和横断面预测因素。基线时有397名参与者，随访1时有341名，随访2时有320名。分层多元回归揭示了心理融入的几个重要预测因素。最显著和常见的预测因素是年龄较大、有更多社会支持、居住在高质量住房中以及居住在有积极影响的社区。文中讨论了对服务提供和政策推进的启示。
