BACKGROUND: Over half of Glasgow's 4000 homeless people drink hazardously but the prevalence of alcohol-related brain damage (ARBD) has not been described.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence of ARBD among homeless hostel dwellers in Glasgow.
METHODS: A representative sample of homeless hostel dwellers was surveyed using validated survey instruments and clinical assessment.
RESULTS: From a sample of 266 hostel dwellers, 82% had cognitive impairment and 78% were drinking hazardously. The prevalence of ARBD among homeless hostel dwellers was 21%.
CONCLUSIONS: ARBD has a high prevalence among homeless hostel dwellers and treatment is usually effective. There is a need to actively identify and treat this population to help them move out of homelessness.
