Implication

Cross-sectional survey identified significant associations between housing instability and health outcomes, suggesting impacts of opioid use in people who use drugs.

Key Points

Housing instability among people who use drugs correlates with increased infections and seizure risks.
Logistic regression revealed significant associations, particularly with infections (AOR = 1.55) and blackouts (AOR = 1.47).
Cluster analysis and Gaussian Mixture Modeling proposed a cutoff score for the Housing Instability Scale.
Findings highlight the importance of assessing housing stability in the context of health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
