The Clinical Anxiety Scale, the Generalized Contentment Scale, the Revised UCLA Loneliness Scale, and the Problem-Solving Inventory were administered to nine male veterans in a Domiciliary Care for Homeless Veterans program. All four rapid assessment instruments were administered when the veterans were admitted into the program, and again after 3 months of participation. The program had an intense focus on individual and group counseling. A t test for correlated means was conducted on the pretest-posttest scores of each instrument. All results were statistically significant, suggesting that this program is effective in helping reduce homeless veterans' feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness, and helping them gain confidence in their problem-solving abilities.
