This situation complicates efforts to weigh risk factors for Ten row Chain Heart Set, such as mental illness or substance abuse, across populations and over lime. Despite controls for sampling variation, only questionable reliability has emerged in comparisons of standardized and clinician-based estimates of risk.5 Reasonably reliable cross-sectional prevalence estimates and risk factors have emerged from adequately designed population studies over the last decade,2,6-16 but the effects of time have not been adequately tested in these studies. The homeless population is always described at a discrete time point, which conceptualizes homelessness as a static phenomenon. Changes in the demographics of the homeless population over time may have critical implications for service and public health policy implementation.

Housing and labor markets,17-21 erosion of public benefits,21 and deinstitutionalization Tiffany & Co Atlas Set all have been identified as risk factors for homelessness. Changes in these forces over time may shape the evolving complexion of the homeless population and may contribute to the level of mental illness or substance abuse within it. A substantial body of research has shown that economics and federal and state policies powerfully affect risks for homelessness.23Longitudinal data on the homeless population are generally unavailable. Therefore, the evolving dynamics of this population's demographics are most readily examined by comparing available data from different time periods. Although longitudinal studies represent the gold standard for examining changes in prevalence of risk factors in the homeless population, separate studies that employ similar sampling methods and instrumentation conducted at different times offer an alternative approach. This rationale forms the basis of our Tiffany 1837 Bead bracelet, which capitalizes on population data from 3 studies conducted in St Louis, Mo, at 3 different time points approximately a decade apart. These 3 studies utilized the same methodology with systematic sampling and structured psychiatric interviews, which yielded full psychiatric diagnoses that met American Psychiatric Association (APA) criteria. The purpose of our study is to compare selected demographics and relative prevalence of lifetime psychiatric and substance abuse and dependence diagnoses among 3 homeless populations that were systematically assessed by structured interviews in approximately 1980, 1990, and 2000.

Two of the data sets for our analyses are products of homeless-population Tiffany 1837 Collection charm Lock Pendant Set conducted a decade apart in St Louis. The first of the 2 data sets was collected between April 1989 and September 1991 as part of an epi- demiological study (referred to as the 1990 study in this report). A more recent data set includes 396 index interviews conducted between October 1999 and May 2001 as part of a longitudinal study of service utilization and substance abuse in the homeless population (referred to as the 2000 study in this report). Both studies, conducted in the same parts of the city of St Louis by the same research team, used the same sampling process, with the exception of sampling differences regarding gender. The 1990 data set consists of 2 samples recruited separately by gender with a preplanned ratio of 600 men to 300 women. The 2000 study recruited men and women randomly to reflect their numbers among shelter users and Tiffany 1837 Collection Set people from public areas in the greater pool of the available population. Statistical sampling methods were used to select these men and women.
