In this qualitative study, male and female veterans who identified as homeless were interviewed to understand the role of trauma, social support and gender in their recovery. Results show that male and female veterans exhibited gender-specific differences related to the extent of trauma experienced and the likelihood of rehospitalization. This study recommends additional longitudinal research to better understand the linkages among personal characteristics, problems, and services. (Author)
