This study aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the lifetime traumatic experiences of homeless women, and to explore the linkage between trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and substance use problems. One hundred adult homeless women were assessed. Descriptive data on trauma histories show that three-quarters of the sample experienced some form of childhood trauma, and 58% experienced childhood sexual trauma. Trauma in childhood was predictive of trauma in adulthood. As hypothesized, indirect evidence of the self-medication hypothesis was provided by a path analysis showing a linear relationship between trauma and substance use consequences that was mediated by PTSD symptoms. Measures of future time perspective, and self-report and behavioral measures of impulsivity did not converge to indicate a single shared common factor, though the self-report measure of trait impulsivity was predictive of both PTSD and substance use consequences. This study suggests that homeless women have extensive trauma histories that often begin in childhood, they likely use substances to cope, and that trait impulsivity may itself represent a common factor of both PTSD and SUD. Clinical implications are discussed.
