While many works compare traits of homeless adults across levels of alcohol use, few specifically consider whether drinking status affects determinants of either homelessness or "vulnerability" to homelessness. This paper relies on a 1986 Chicago, Illinois sample (n = 535) to consider the potential contributions of resources, social network characteristics, disaffiliation, and mental health problems. Results suggest that resource problems may determine homelessness regardless of drinking status. But drinking-associated problems may raise the resource threshold for "vulnerability," reduce the protection afforded by social networks against both homelessness and "vulnerability," increase the deleterious impact of disaffiliation, and spur complicating mental health problems.
虽然许多研究比较了不同饮酒水平的无家可归成年人的特征，但很少有研究专门考虑饮酒状况是否会影响无家可归的决定因素或导致无家可归的“易感性”。本文基于1986年伊利诺伊州芝加哥的一个样本（n = 535），探讨资源、社会网络特征、脱离社会关系和心理健康问题的潜在影响。结果表明，无论饮酒状况如何，资源问题都可能导致无家可归。但与饮酒相关的问题可能会提高“易感性”的资源门槛，减少社会网络对无家可归和“易感性”的保护作用，增加脱离社会关系的有害影响，并引发复杂的心理健康问题。
