PURPOSE: Alcohol consumption has substantial negative health consequences and those who experience homelessness bear a disproportionate burden of these consequences. Housing eviction is a widespread, modifiable cause of homelessness and housing insecurity more broadly. Understanding the associations between eviction and alcohol-related harms could reveal important prevention opportunities.
METHODS: We examined spatial patterns of inpatient hospitalizations for alcohol use disorder (AUD) and harms that are partially attributable to alcohol assumption, including assault, intimate partner violence (IPV), and self-harm at the ZIP code level in Pennsylvania. Using Bayesian hierarchical space-time misalignment models, we examined the associations between ZIP code-level eviction filing rates and hospitalizations for these conditions, reporting relative rates (RR) and 95% credible intervals (CIs). We stratified our analyses across two time periods, 2018-2019 (n = 2901 ZIP code-years) and 2020-2022 (n = 4356 ZIP code-years).
RESULTS: Eviction filings were associated with increased hospitalizations for AUD; a one percentage point increase in the eviction filing rate was associated with a 1.4% (95% CI: 1.011 - 1.018) and 1.1% (95% CI:1.007-1.014) increase in AUD hospitalizations in 2018-2019 and 2020-2022, respectively. The associations between eviction filings and hospitalizations for IPV (RR: 1.018, 95% CI: 1.005-1.031) and hospitalizations for assault (RR: 1.033, 95% CI: 1.002, 1.065) were only well-supported during 2020-2022.
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the potential for leveraging housing eviction interventions for the prevention of alcohol-related harms, especially AUD. Future research should examine the mechanisms linking eviction, alcohol consumption, and related harms, and measure the alcohol-related impacts of eviction prevention interventions.
