UVic report targets gaps in care for brain injuries and homelessness
- A UVic study found significant gaps in health-care services for people experiencing homelessness with brain injuries and mental health or substance use disorders.
- The study revealed that approximately three out of four people experiencing homelessness have a mental health or substance use disorder, and over half have a history of traumatic brain injury.
