Mental disorders accounted for 52% of acute care hospitalizations among the homeless in 2005-2006 (outside Quebec), according to a new report released released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI).
In addition, the report shows that 35% of visits to
selected emergency departments (EDs)-mostly in Ontario-by homeless
people were related to mental and behavioural disorders,
a proportion that is higher than that for other patients
(3%).
