Abstract

This study of 188 homeless veterans in a substance abuse program in a Veterans Affairs Medical Center in the South was designed to examine predictors of suicidal thoughts. The significant predictors included several elements of attachment theory and duration and the intensity of alcohol and other drug abuse. Of special interest was whether attachment to caregivers and sexual abuse had significant statistical interactions with duration and intensity of alcohol and other drug use. Those interactions were significant and implications of the findings were discussed in relation to intervention.
