What is known about persons with co-occurring problems' experiences with supported housing, recovery, and health promotion? A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Having a home is the foundation of most people's lives. People with co-occurring substance use and mental health problems may experience challenges in acquiring and keeping housing. Many also have major health challenges. Supported housing is the subject of increasing interest, but there seems to be a lack of studies exploring supported housing's potential for facilitating recovery and health promotion. Therefore, a scoping review was performed to answer our review question: What is known in the literature about the experiences of persons with co-occurring substance use and mental health problems with supported housing, including experiences of recovery and health promotion?

Methods

Systematic searches were conducted in the Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, PsycInfo, CINAHL,
