Journal overview

Journal of Social Distress and Homelessness (SDH) is an international publication of original, peer-reviewed papers on psychosocial distress and homelessness throughout society. The Journal publishes original research papers, theoretical papers, review papers, brief reports, review articles, and special issues. The Journal is designed for professionals in the behavioral, medical, psychological, and social sciences.

The Journal is dedicated to innovative and timely studies in three broad areas of research:

1. Social distress and disorganization across different groups, cultures, and settings, in areas such as education, healthcare, criminal justice, economics, social services, and families. Research on disadvantaged populations is particularly welcome.

2. Clinical, epidemiological, methodological, and health services research on homelessness. Related research on poverty, inadequate or unstable housing, and associated mental and physical illnesses is encouraged.

3. New methodologies for research on social distress and the homeless. These methodologies can include newly developed instruments, measures, and tests; novel recruitment and sampling strategies; advanced analytic techniques and statistical approaches; and technology-based solutions.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
