Fa. Diblasio et Jr. Belcher, GENDER DIFFERENCES AMONG HOMELESS PERSONS - SPECIAL SERVICES FOR WOMEN, American journal of orthopsychiatry, 65(1), 1995, pp. 131-137
Data from a survey of men and women in urban shelters for the homeless
revealed that, while women were more likely than men to request a var
iety of services, most of the difference was accounted for by the subg
roup of women accompanied by children. Homeless men and women without
children exhibited few differences in the number of services they requ
ested.
