This study examined experiences with eviction, house foreclosures, and homelessness in a large U.S. city sample of adults with Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19). A total of 3595 adults with COVID-19 participated in an assessment of health and well-being after completing contact tracing activities. The sample had a 5.7% lifetime prevalence of eviction, 3.7% lifetime prevalence of house foreclosure, and 8.2% lifetime prevalence of homelessness. Relative importance analyses revealed drug use was the most important variable associated with any lifetime eviction, lifetime house foreclosure, lifetime homelessness, and being currently at-risk of eviction or recently evicted. Loneliness was also relatively strongly associated with any lifetime eviction or homelessness, while socioeconomic characteristics were the most importance variables associated with late mortgage payments in the past month. Treatment for addiction problems may be important for in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and adults with histories of housing instability may be particularly at risk.
这项研究调查了美国一个大城市成年人中与 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)相关的驱逐、房屋止赎和无家可归经历。共有 3595 名 COVID-19 成年人在完成接触者追踪活动后接受了健康和福祉评估。该样本一生中的驱逐率为 5.7%,房屋止赎率为 3.7%,无家可归率为 8.2%。相对重要性分析显示,吸毒是与任何一生中的驱逐、房屋止赎、无家可归以及当前面临驱逐或最近被驱逐的风险相关的最重要变量。孤独也与任何一生中的驱逐或无家可归相关,而社会经济特征是与过去一个月拖欠抵押贷款有关的最重要变量。治疗成瘾问题可能在 COVID-19 大流行之后很重要,而有住房不稳定史的成年人可能特别面临风险。
