Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
A partir d'interviews de 1 260 personnes résidant dans des foyers new-yorkais, on essaye d'établir une classification en 10 groupes de typologie voisine, en fonction des critères d'usage de drogue et des troubles psychiatriques. [Résumé Toxibase]
ENGLISH :
The data of this study were derived from comprehensive interviews of 311 women and 949 men residing in the New York City public shelters for homeless adults during the summer of 1987. Included in the content of the interview were seven dichotomous measures of substance use, substance abuse and mental disorder. A typology of ten groups comprised of individuals with similar profiles on the seven measures served as the independent variable. Three pairs of dependent variables were suicide attempts and current thoughts of suicide, a need for medical services reported by shelter residents and by their interviewers, and disclosure of a drug problem and a need for help in treating it. Consistently meaningful associations between group memberships and the 3 pairs of dependent variables, and 16 measures of health status in previous work, were interpreted as evidence for predictive validity of the typology.
