Homeless Persons, Substance-Related Disorders, Mental Health, Review Literature as TopicAbstract
Objective: to analyze the scientific production on the profile of homeless population that uses
alcohol and other drugs published since 2009. Methodology: this is a scoping review carried out
in articles published in the four databases and Google Scholar. Complete studies, available online,
published in the MEDLINE/PubMed databases, LILACS, Nursing Database (BDENF) and Scientific
Electronic Library Online (SciELO). Gray literature was selected via Google Scholar and the search
for unpublished studies and materials occurred via access to the repository of the Brazilian Digital
Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the Catalog of Theses & Dissertations. Complete
studies, available online, published from 2009 onwards, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, were
included. Results: seven articles were selected and included for data extraction. The analysis
showed the bibliographic production in the southeast and south regions of Brazil, in addition to
the growth in the number of publications from 2015 onwards. The homeless population is mostly
composed of men from large urban centers, brown/black, single, unemployed, with low education
and restricted access to social and health support. The substance use profile suggests a prevalence
of alcohol, tobacco and crack consumption. Conclusion: the study made it possible to identify
important characteristics for building the profile of the homeless population using alcohol and other
drugs, however, there is a lack of studies in the Midwest and North regions of the country, as well
as, nationwide surveys that address the use of psychoactive substances by this population.
