La genética como herramienta para el estudio y conservación del género Alouatta en México
Authors: Argüello-Sánchez Laura Elisa , García-Feria Luis Manuel
Published: September 2017

El estudio de la estructura genética de las poblaciones animales se ha convertido en una herramienta de gran valor en los programas de conservación de especies, particularmente de aquellas que se encuentran en peligro de extinción. Se han utilizado diferentes parámetros poblacionales, tanto en animales cautivos como silvestres, para evaluar su estado genético y su viabilidad a largo plazo. En México, diferentes herramientas genéticas se han usado para estudiar las tres especies de primates no humanos a fin de fundamentar o comprobar diversos aspectos biológicos establecidos a través de observaciones y trabajos de campo. Entre los aspectos de esas especies que se han estudiado desde una perspectiva genética se incluyen varias cuestiones taxonómicas y biogeográficas, la estructura y diferenciación de las poblaciones dentro del área de distribución, los patrones de parentesco y sistemas sociales, entre otros. Estos estudios han conducido a una mejor comprensión de la biología de esos primates, y al desarrollo de estrategias más efectivas para la conservación y supervivencia del género Alouatta en México.

Se realizó un estudio faunístico de abejas nativas en el estado de Nuevo León utilizando los métodos de platos trampa y red entomológica. Se recolectaron 3,952 ejemplares pertenecientes a cinco familias, 47 géneros y 191 especies que al sumar aquellas encontradas en literatura y bases de datos de colecciones revisadas el número se elevó a 317 especies. Se capturaron 73 especies únicamente en platos trampa, 68 exclusivamente con la red entomológica y 48 coincidiendo en ambos métodos. Se reportan por primera vez para el estado 7 géneros y 32 especies. En los platos trampa se colectó una mayor abundancia y riqueza de especies; mientras que la mayor diversidad se observó con el método de la red entomológica. De los platos trampa, el color amarillo capturó la mayor abundancia, riqueza y diversidad de abejas siendo la familia Halictidae la mejor representada. Durante el muestreo con red entomológica se identificaron 21 familias de plantas visitadas por abejas, entre las que destacan por la abundancia de éstas Scrophulariaceae, Asteraceae y Fabaceae; mientras que de la que se obtuvo mayor diversidad fue de Asteraceae. Se discute sobre el número de especies recolectadas y los resultados de la curva de acumulación, así como de los métodos de colecta empleados.

Published: September 2017

Little is known about the relationship between cycads and J. elongata. Since June 2009, adults J. elongata were observed feeding on Ceratozamia huastecorum in the Sierra de Otontepec; Cycas revoluta and C. circinalis in public and private gardens in three locations in northern Veracruz. Its arrival is sudden and occurs at the end of spring. It presents gregarious or solitary behavior. It feeds on the leaflets with smooth texture and sometimes the rachis. Large populations of adult J. elongata occur in the morning and have been removed by the inhabitants to avoid damage to their cycads, this has disrupted the careful observation of their behavior and the possible meeting of larvae, pupae and eggs. Only 5 % of the population C. huastecorum has been affected, while big Cycas revoluta and C. circinalis have been infested to 100 %.

Worker Preferences for a Mental Health App Within Male-Dominated Industries: Participatory Study (Preprint)
Authors: Peters Dorian , Deady Mark , Glozier Nick , Harvey Samuel , Calvo Rafael A
Published: September 2017

BACKGROUND

Men are less likely to seek help for mental health problems, possibly because of stigma imposed by cultural masculine norms. These tendencies may be amplified within male-dominated workplaces such as the emergency services or transport industries. Mobile apps present a promising way to provide access to mental health support. However, little is known about the kinds of mental health technologies men would be willing to engage with, and no app can be effective if the intended users do not engage with it.

OBJECTIVE

The goal of this participatory user research study was to explore the perceptions, preferences, and ideas of workers in male-dominated workplaces to define requirements for a mental health app that would be engaging and effective at improving psychological well-being.

METHODS

Workers from male-dominated workplaces in rural, suburban, and urban locations took part in an exploratory qualitative study involving participatory workshops designed to elicit their perspectives and preferences for mental health support and the design of an app for mental health. Participants generated a number of artifacts (including draft screen designs and promotional material) designed to reify their perceptions, tacit knowledge, and ideas.

RESULTS

A total of 60 workers aged between 26 and 65 years, 92% (55/60) male, from male-dominated workplaces in rural (16/60, 27%), suburban (14/60, 23%), and urban (30/60, 50%) locations participated in one of the 6 workshops, resulting in 49 unique feature ideas and 81 participant-generated artifacts. Thematic analysis resulted in a set of feature, language, and style preferences, as well as characteristics considered important by participants for a mental health app. The term “mental health” was highly stigmatized and disliked by participants. Tools including a mood tracker, self-assessment, and mood-fix tool were highly valued, and app characteristics such as brevity of interactions, minimal on-screen text, and a solutions-oriented approach were considered essential by participants. Some implementation strategies based on these findings are included in the discussion.

CONCLUSIONS

Future mental health mobile phone apps targeting workers in male-dominated workplaces need to consider language use and preferred features, as well as balance the preferences of users with the demands of evidence-based intervention. In addition to informing the development of mental health apps for workers in male-dominated industries, these findings may also provide insights for mental health technologies, for men in general, and for others in high-stigma environments.
Enhancing User Experience Through User Study: Design of an mHealth Tool for Self-Management and Care Engagement of Cardiovascular Disease Patients (Preprint)
Authors: Baek Hyunyoung , Suh Jung-Won , Kang Si-Hyuck , Kang Seungjin , Lim Tae Ho , Hwang Hee , Yoo Sooyoung
Published: September 2017

BACKGROUND

As patient communication, engagement, personal health data tracking, and up-to-date information became more efficient through mobile health (mHealth), cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and other diseases that require behavioral improvements in daily life are now capable of being managed and prevented more effectively. However, to increase patient engagement through mHealth, it is important for the initial design to consider functionality and usability factors and accurately assess user demands during the developmental process so that the app can be used continuously.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of the study was to provide insightful information for developing mHealth service for patients with CVD based on user research to help enhance communication between patients and doctors.

METHODS

To drive the mobile functions and services needed to manage diseases in CVD patients, user research was conducted on patients and doctors at a tertiary general university hospital located in the Seoul metropolitan area of South Korea. Interviews and a survey were performed on patients (35 participants) and a focus group interview was conducted with doctors (5 participants). A mock-up mobile app was developed based on the user survey results, and a usability test was then conducted (8 participants) to identify factors that should be considered to improve usability.

RESULTS

The majority of patients showed a positive response in terms of their interest or intent to use an app for managing CVD. Functional features, such as communication with doctors, self-risk assessment, exercise, tailored education, blood pressure management, and health status recording had a score of 4.0 or higher on a 5-point Likert scale, showing that these functions were perceived to be useful to patients. The results of the mock-up usability test showed that inputting and visualizing blood pressure and other health conditions was required to be easier. The doctors requested a function that offered a comprehensive view of the patient’s daily health status by linking the mHealth app data with the hospital’s electronic health record system.

CONCLUSIONS

Insights derived from a user study for developing an mHealth tool for CVD management, such as self-assessment and a communication channel between patients and doctors, may be helpful to improve patient engagement in care.
Web-Based Patient Education in Orthopedics: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Dekkers Tessa , Melles Marijke , Groeneveld Bob Sander , de Ridder Huib
Published: September 2017

BACKGROUND

Patients with orthopedic conditions frequently use the internet to find health information. Patient education that is distributed online may form an easily accessible, time- and cost-effective alternative to education delivered through traditional channels such as one-on-one consultations or booklets. However, no systematic evidence for the comparative effectiveness of Web-based educational interventions exists.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this systematic review was to examine the effects of Web-based patient education interventions for adult orthopedic patients and to compare its effectiveness with generic health information websites and traditional forms of patient education.

METHODS

CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PUBMED, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched covering the period from 1995 to 2016. Peer-reviewed English and Dutch studies were included if they delivered patient education via the internet to the adult orthopedic population and assessed its effects in a controlled or observational trial.

RESULTS

A total of 10 trials reported in 14 studies involving 4172 patients were identified. Nine trials provided evidence for increased patients’ knowledge after Web-based patient education. Seven trials reported increased satisfaction and good evaluations of Web-based patient education. No compelling evidence exists for an effect of Web-based patient education on anxiety, health attitudes and behavior, or clinical outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

Web-based patient education may be offered as a time- and cost-effective alternative to current educational interventions when the objective is to improve patients’ knowledge and satisfaction. However, these findings may not be representative for the whole orthopedic patient population as most trials included considerably younger, higher-educated, and internet-savvy participants only.
Assessing the Concepts and Designs of 58 Mobile Apps for the Management of the 2014-2015 West Africa Ebola Outbreak: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Tom-Aba Daniel , Nguku Patrick Mboya , Arinze Chinedu Chukwujekwu , Krause Gerard
Published: September 2017

BACKGROUND

The use of mobile phone information technology (IT) in the health sector has received much attention especially during the 2014-2015 Ebola virus disease (EVD) outbreak. mHealth can be attributed to a major improvement in EVD control, but there lacks an overview of what kinds of tools were available and used based on the functionalities they offer.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to conduct a systematic review of mHealth tools in the context of the recent EVD outbreak to identify the most promising approaches and guide further mHealth developments for infectious disease control.

METHODS

Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, we searched for all reports on mHealth tools developed in the context of the 2014-2015 EVD outbreak published between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2015 on Google Scholar, MEDLINE, CAB Abstracts (Global Health), POPLINE, and Web of Science in any language using the search strategy: (“outbreak” OR “epidemic”) AND (“mobile phone” OR “smartphone” OR “smart phone” OR “mobile phone” OR “tablet” OR “mHealth”) AND (“Ebola” OR ”EVD” OR “VHF” OR “Ebola virus disease” OR “viral hemorrhagic fever”) AND (“2014” OR “2015”). The relevant publications were selected by 2 independent reviewers who applied a standardized data extraction form on the tools’ functionalities.

RESULTS

We identified 1220 publications through the search strategy, of which 6.31% (77/1220) were original publications reporting on 58 specific mHealth tools in the context of the EVD outbreak. Of these, 62% (34/55) offered functionalities for surveillance, 22% (10/45) for case management, 18% (7/38) for contact tracing, and 6% (3/51) for laboratory data management. Only 3 tools, namely Community Care, Sense Ebola Followup, and Surveillance and Outbreak Response Management and Analysis System supported all four of these functionalities.

CONCLUSIONS

Among the 58 identified tools related to EVD management in 2014 and 2015, only 3 appeared to contain all 4 key functionalities relevant for the response to EVD outbreaks and may be most promising for further development.
Depression, suicidal ideation, and knowledge of suicidal behavior among Chinese university freshmen
Authors: Chen Yirong , Kang Yongle , Lin Yongle
Published: September 2017

We explored the relationship between depression and suicidal ideation among Chinese university freshmen, and also the moderating role of knowledge of suicidal behavior in this relationship. A sample of 1,150 Chinese university freshmen completed the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised to evaluate
their depression symptoms, the Suicide Attitude Inventory to evaluate their knowledge of suicidal behavior, and the Youth Self-Report Form to evaluate suicidal ideation. Results showed that knowledge of suicidal behavior had a negative relationship with both depression and suicidal ideation,
between which there was a significant positive relationship. This relationship was moderated by knowledge of suicidal behavior. The enhancement of freshmen's knowledge of suicidal behavior may help prevent suicidal ideation among the students, and buffer the effect of depression on suicidal
ideation.

Published: September 2017

O Sistema Único de Saúde conta com o programa HiperDia, específico para enfrentar o problema da hipertensão e do diabetes, o qual contempla um sistema de informações próprio, o SIS-HiperDia. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o processo de implantação do SIS-HiperDia em municípios selecionados no estado da Bahia. Trata-se de estudo de avaliação, em que foi desenvolvido um dos seus componentes, a estimativa do grau de implantação, com a análise dos seus determinantes contextuais. Coordenadores da atenção básica de 117 municípios responderam acerca das condições de implantação do sistema. As análises foram realizadas com base nos modelos lógico e de contexto elaborados previamente. Os resultados apontaram que o SIS-HiperDia foi implantado em apenas 43,6% dos municípios analisados. A implantação foi influenciada por elementos contextuais ligados a questões gerenciais e operacionais. As fragilidades identificadas, sobretudo, podem ajudar os gestores a desenvolverem estratégias para melhorar a qualidade da informação e usá-las como ferramenta de planejamento e de gestão do cuidado em saúde. Concluiu-se que o grau de implantação do SIS-HiperDia nos municípios baianos analisados foi baixo.

Authors: Oliveira Maísa Aparecida , Fernandes Maria Cristina Silveira Galan
Published: September 2017

O artigo busca compreender a atuação do estudante da pós-graduação, tendo como foco o desenvolvimento de elementos constitutivos do habitus acadêmico-científico. A pesquisa apresentou natureza quali-quantitativa e foi realizada em duas universidades públicas. Os participantes da pesquisa responderam um questionário on-line e uma entrevista semiestruturada. Elementos da origem cultural e social dos agentes são evidenciados em suas trajetórias escolares, ações, estratégias e posições hierárquicas estabelecidas no campo da pós-graduação. A concepção da educação como possibilidade de ascensão e manutenção social está presente no ideário das famílias. Os estudantes pertencentes às classes desprivilegiadas culturalmente se esforçaram para se adequarem ao capital cultural e escolar dominantes. Os estudantes que possuem privilégios sociais utilizam o capital cultural incorporado por suas famílias como estratégia para manutenção no campo. Os resultados indicam a construção de uma nova configuração cultural no âmbito universitário em que o processo de construção do habitus do estudante é mediado pelas múltiplas relações sociais e institucionais estabelecidas no campo acadêmico-científico, trazendo, assim, implicações na socialização dos estudantes.

The carried-out analysis allowed differentiating health care and economic challenges of countries, including Russia and Algeria. The challenges proceeding from geographical and cultural features, level of economic development and a lack of resources including energy, unsatisfactory development of network of health care, balance of branches and types of medical care are of paramount importance. The conclusion drawn is that these challenges maintained significantly high intensity throughout the forty-year period in all countries with insignificant distinctions, including the Algerian republic.
ALCOHOL RELATED PROBLEMS IN RUSSIA AND BELARUS: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF TRENDS
Authors: Razvodovsky Y. E.
Published: September 2017

Goal: in present article comparative analysis of trends in alcohol-related problems rates (violent mortality, fatal alcohol poisonings, alcoholic psychoses), alcohol sales per capita, socioeconomic parameters in Russia and Belarus in soviet (1970-1991) and post-soviet (1992-2015) periods were analyzed.

Materials and methods. As indicators of alcohol problems were used the mortality rate from external causes, the mortality rate from acute alcohol poisoning and the incidence of alcoholic psychoses. As an integral indicator characterizing the health status of the population was used the indicator of life expectancy at birth.

Results: the results of correlation analysis suggest that alcohol sales is a statistically significant associated with alcohol-related problems rates in both countries during the Soviet period. However, there was no relationship between this variables during the post-Soviet period. The outcomes of this study indicate that psychosocial distress and macroeconomy were important determinants of fluctuations in alcohol-related problems rates in both countries. In the context of alcohol policy this mean that decrease in economic and physical availability of alcohol should be considered as a main priority.

Magnesium in Head and Neck Cancer
Authors: Micke Oliver , Mucke Ralph , Kisters Klaus , Buntzel Jens
Published: September 2017

We investigated the hypothesis that patients with advanced head and neck cancer exhibit a decreased serum concentration of magnesium compared to the normal population. In July 2013 we measured the magnesium serum concentration of 18 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck region. The control group consisted of 17 patients received tonsillectomy during the same period. Overall 14/18 patients with cancer have had Magnesium serum concentrations < 0.80 mmol/l (78%). The control group showed only two patients (12%) with serum levels below the cut off. This small controlled study supports the hypothesis that decreased Magnesium serum concentrations are typical for patients with advanced head and neck cancer. We could not show, that hypomagnesaemia is prognostic biomarker in head and neck cancer treatment.

Texture analysis of magnetic resonance images to predict histologic grade of meningiomas in dogs
Authors: Banzato Tommaso , Bernardini Marco , Cherubini Giunio B. , Zotti Alessandro
Published: September 2017

OBJECTIVE To predict histologic grade of meningiomas in dogs via texture analysis (TA) of MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord.

SAMPLE 58 sets of MRI scans of the brain and spinal cord of dogs with histologically diagnosed meningioma.

PROCEDURES MRI sequences were divided into a training set and a test set, and results of histologic assessment were obtained. Tumors were histologically grouped as benign (stage I) or atypical-anaplastic (stage II or III). Texture analysis was performed by use of specialized software on T2-weighted (T2W) and pre- and postcontrast T1-weighted (T1W) images. A set of 30 texture features that provided the highest discriminating power between the 2 histologic classes in the training set was automatically selected by the TA software. Linear discriminant analysis was performed, and the most discriminant factor (MDF) was calculated. The previously selected texture features were then used for linear discriminant analysis of the test set data, and the MDF was calculated.

RESULTS For the training set, TA of precontrast T1W images provided the best diagnostic accuracy; a cutoff MDF of < 0.0057 resulted in a sensitivity of 97.4% and specificity of 95.0% for discriminating benign from atypical-anaplastic meningiomas. Use of postcontrast T1W and T2W images yielded poorer diagnostic performances. Application of the MDF cutoff calculated with the training set to the MDF calculated with the test set provided a correct classification rate of 96.8% for precontrast T1W images, 92.0% for postcontrast T1W images, and 78.9% for T2W images.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Findings supported the potential clinical usefulness of TA of MRI scans for the grading of meningiomas in dogs.
A POLÍTICA PÚBLICA NACIONAL DE TRATAMENTO DE CONFLITOS COMO FONTE DE EMPODERAMENTO SOCIALE DEMOCRÁTICO
Authors: Priebe Victor , De Freitas Daniel Dottes
Published: September 2017

O objetivo que se quer alcançar, num primeiro momento, é analisar a política pública de tratamento adequado dos conflitos, tomando como exemplo aquela instituída pelo Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ), contextualizada em relação ao conceito de políticas públicas, bem como, pontuar os acréscimos que tal política pública traz ao empoderamento social. Sobre o tratamento de conflitos, será feita uma abordagem buscando a existência direta de vínculos com o fortalecimento do capital social. Também, será investigado se os tratamentos adequados dos conflitos se colocam como instrumentos capazes de ressaltar o sentido da democracia. Para tanto, utilizar-se-á o método dedutivo, analisando-se categorias de base, partindo-se de uma ideia geral para o particular.
A GREVE POLÍTICA COMO CATEGORIA DE DIREITO HUMANO NA AMÉRICA LATINA:RECONFIGURANDOAS LUTAS COLETIVAS A PARTIR DAS TEORIAS DOS NOVOS MOVIMENTOS SOCIAIS

O combate contra a exploração do trabalho humano nasceu por meio das lutas coletivas.A partir da década de 80, do século XX, novas identidades e necessidades se evidenciam. No ano de 2017, greves políticas são manifestas no âmbito da América Latina. Utilizando-se do método hipotético-dedutivo e da técnica da revisão da literatura, objetiva a pesquisa analisar sea greve, nos moldes postos pela dogmática jurídica se justifica na contemporaneidade e, em caso negativo, o que se faz necessário para elaboração de um novo sindicalismo social.
PATERNALISMO: UMA IDEIA VIÁVEL?
Authors: Leitão André Studart , Dias Eduardo Rocha , Cidrão Taís Vasconcelos
Published: September 2017

O problema do paternalismo, que começa com a falta de consenso sobre seu próprio significado, e sua aceitação no âmbito estatal pelos estudiosos do Direito (em âmbito nacional e internacional), tem gerado debates acerca da possibilidade de essa filosofia de gestão tolher a liberdade do ser humano em um sistema institucionalizado. O Estado pode (ou deve) tomar as decisões pelos cidadãos, inclusive aquelas que envolvem exclusivamente a esfera privada? Através de pesquisa eminentemente bibliográfica, propõe-se neste artigo que a atuação interventiva do Estado não seja pautada em modelos extremistas adeptos de visões excessivamente paternalistas ou deliberadamente libertárias. O melhor caminho é o do meio e consiste numa solução intermediária de intervenção equilibrada, tal como sugerido por Cass Sunstein e Richard Thaler, chamada “paternalismo libertário”. O Brasil, como um país tradicionalmente paternalista, sofre os reflexos dessa escolha de modus operandi, pois não prepara seus cidadãos para seguirem suas próprias escolhas, o que contribui sobremaneira para o fortalecimento da dominação e da dependência massificada.
“Low Ability,” Participation, and Identity in Dialogic Pedagogy
Authors: Snell Julia , Lefstein Adam
Published: September 2017

Teachers are increasingly called on to use dialogic teaching practices to engage active pupil participation in academically challenging classroom discourse. Such practices are in tension with commonly held beliefs about pupil ability as fixed and/or context independent. Moreover, teaching practices that seek to make pupil thinking visible can also make perceived pupil “inarticulateness” and/or “low ability” visible, with important implications for pupil identities. This article explores how teachers in a dialogic teaching intervention managed the participation and identities of “low ability” pupils. We use linguistic ethnographic methods to analyze three different case studies in which teachers seek to include underachieving pupils’ voices in the discussion and discuss implications for dialogic pedagogy and the study of classroom social identification processes.
Racial Attitudes of PreK–12 and Postsecondary Educators: Descriptive Evidence From Nationally Representative Data
Authors: Quinn David M.
Published: September 2017

PreK–12 and postsecondary educators’ racial attitudes have important consequences for students’ learning and development, yet we know little about educators’ racial attitudes overall, how their attitudes might differ from those of noneducators, or how attitudes might be changing over time. I investigate these questions using the nationally representative General Social Survey. Some educators hold worrisome racial attitudes, yet compared to noneducators, educators are less opposed to governmental equalizing efforts, give more politically liberal explanations for racial inequalities, express less negative racial stereotypes, and report less social distance and collective resentments toward minoritized groups. Many educator/noneducator differences were explained by demographics, particularly education level. Time trends mostly show progress in Americans’ racial attitudes, with generally similar trends for educators and noneducators.
Factors associated with mental health in Canadian Veterans
Authors: Rebeira Mayvis , Grootendorst Paul , Coyte Peter
Published: September 2017

Introduction: Mental health of Veterans remains a key public policy issue as Veterans with mental health conditions continue to rise in numbers. There is, however, limited information available about specific factors that are associated with mental health in the Veteran population in Canada despite the increasingly perilous nature of military engagements in recent decades. Methods: Regression analysis was conducted on data from a comprehensive self-reported health survey of Canadian Veterans to identify factors associated with mental health, which encompass post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety disorders, depression, and mood disorders. Results: The findings uncover the role of service-oriented risk factors in the occurrence of mental health conditions notably, overseas deployment (OR=1.55, p≤0.001) and, to a limited extent, land forces (OR=1.34, p≤0.05). The results also show an inverse relationship between income and mental health. Further, lower-educated Veterans have increased odds of mental health conditions. Obesity was found to be a statistically significant factor associated with mental health (OR=1.45, p≤0.001) as well as smoking (OR=1.76, p≤0.001). Home ownership appears to have some protective effect on Veterans' health (OR=1.57, p≤0.001). Discussion: These findings highlight key important factors associated with mental health in Veterans, and they include overseas deployment, land forces enlistment, income, obesity, and smoking. The findings highlight the need for targeted research on the complex causal pathways leading to mental health conditions, especially in deployed Veterans and land forces Veterans so that effective prevention programs can be designed for these groups.
Physical health status of homeless Veterans in Canada: a cross-sectional study

Published: September 2017

Introduction: Veteran homelessness is an issue gaining in visibility. Both Veterans and the homeless seem to be more susceptible to an array of physical health issues than the general population. However, very little is known about the health status of homeless Veterans in Canada. A more thorough knowledge of the physical health status of homeless Veterans could help better target services. This study has two objectives: (1) to estimate the prevalence of physical health conditions in a Canadian sample of homeless Veterans with mental illness and (2) to compare the prevalence observed in Veterans with a matched sample of homeless non-Veterans. Methods: The data come from a Canadian multi-site randomized trial, At Home/Chez Soi, that studies the effectiveness and efficiency of a Housing First program combined with a recovery-oriented approach to care. The present article is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data. The participants are a volunteer sample of 99 homeless or precariously housed Veterans suffering from severe and persistent mental health problems and a matched sample of 99 non-Veterans. The data come from self-reported measures administered at baseline that describe chronic health conditions. Results: Veterans presented with five physical health conditions on average, the more common being dental problems, head injuries, musculoskeletal injuries, and foot problems. Both the number of conditions and the prevalence of each condition were similar to that of a matched comparison group of non-Veterans. Discussion: The number and severity of physical health conditions observed in our sample of homeless Veterans and non-Veterans suggest similar needs for physical health services in addition to housing services. Interventions targeting this population should therefore include a wide array of expertise and interdisciplinary collaboration to fit the various profiles of Veterans and non-Veterans in terms of housing, mental health, and physical health needs.
