Summary
Risk factors (i.e., drug abuse, posttraumatic stress disorder, mental and physical health) for homelessness among Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) Veterans are examined, with a particular focus on money mismanagement. Results found mismanagement of money to be a strong predictor of homelessness beyond increased risk from other factors.
