RESUMO

Individuals without stable housing experience high rates of mental illness and seek behavioral health care in emergency care settings. Little is known about the effect of homelessness on outpatient follow-up after utilizing emergency or urgent care for behavioral health care. Patient encounters with behavioral health diagnoses among 7 emergency department (ED) or urgent care (UC) locations over 4 years were used to determine the correlation between housing status and outpatient follow-up within 90 days. Of 1,160,386 visits by 269,615 unique patients, 55,738 (23%) encounters included a behavioral health diagnosis. Patients with stable housing were twice as likely to follow up with a primary care provider (PCP) and with an outpatient behavioral health provider than patients without housing (aOR 2.60; aOR 2.00, p < 0.0001). Homelessness is associated with difficulty in accessing follow-up behavioral health care. UCs and EDs may use specific interventions to improve outpatient follow-up.
