Among all sheltered homeless adults, approximately 63 were men; 37 were women. Men were overrepresented compared with the general population. The sheltered homeless population is younger than the general population. Most homeless adults were between 31 and 61years of age; 22.1 were less than 18 years of age; and 3 were older than 62. In the general population, 16 were over age of 62. Minorities comprised 60 of the total sheltered population. More sheltered homeless people had disabilities than did members of the general population: 38.1 versus 15.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Brain imaging scans, also called neuroimaging scans, are being used more and more to help detect and diagnose a number of medical disorders and illnesses. Currently, the main use of brain scans for mental disorders is in research studies to learn more about the disorders. These researchers study healthy brain development, effects of mental illnesses, or effects of mental health treatments on the brain. Brain scans alone cannot be used to diagnose a mental disorder, such as autism, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder (NIMH, 2010). Brain neuroimaging helps researchers study healthy brain development, effects of mental illnesses, or effects of mental health treatments on the brain.
