A Prospective Meta-analytic Approach in a Multisite Study of Homelessness Prevention

This article focuses on The Collaborative Program to Prevent Homelessness, a multisite study designed to identify promising approaches to preventing homelessness among persons with substance abuse and mental disorders and to explore the relative effectiveness of these approaches. The article discusses this multisite study designed to explore the relative differences of several interventions developed to ameliorate homelessness among persons with mental illness and substance abuse disorders. The authors describe an innovative, prospective meta-analytic approach to the analysis of multisite data when cross-site variation does not allow for the pooling of data. (Authors)
