Abstract
Homeless persons are disproportionately affected by latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). We examined anxiety, depression, substance use, social support, and self-reported-general health in a sample of homeless persons with LTBI. Data suggests mental health and psychosocial factors may be important to consider in the context of LTBI treatment for homeless persons.
