PICOT: Mental Health and Homelessness
Cuyahoga County is one of the clinical areas in the United States that heavily experience mental health problems and homelessness. Approximately 6000 individuals in Cuyahoga county are homeless thus heavily suffer from mental issues (Collins et al., n.d.). Homelessness in the country is caused by a high poverty rate of 216,000 individuals below the poverty line. The vital mental issues that the community experience include depression, anxiety, and psychological distress. Due to different mental health issues resulting from homelessness, a proper nursing intervention based on evidence-based practice is necessary for the community. The paper utilizes PICOT questions to counter mental health problems in the community.
