The purpose of this study was to compare the coping strategies between homeless women with dependent children and homeless women without dependent children. Of the 192 homeless women in this study, 64 were mothers whose dependent children lived with them, and 132 were women who did not have dependent children living with them. The women were recruited from homeless shelters in Georgia, in the Metro Atlanta area and surrounding counties. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to test the differences between both groups using their scores on the Coping Strategies Inventory scales survey instrument (problem-solving skills, problem reframing, and ability to access social networks). Univariate analysis was used to look at each dependent variable. There was no statistical difference in coping strategies between both groups. The conclusions from this study suggest continued research regarding the benefit of coping strategies among homeless populations.

In a survey of ethnicity, gender, and homelessness, S. G. Baker (1994) observes, "at no time in U.S. history has homelessness proved so far-reaching in its demographic scope" (Gender Ethnicity and Homelessness: Accounting for Demographic Diversity on the Streets. The American Behavioral Scientist, 37:476-504, 1994:476). She suggests that the term "homeless" currently refers to men, women, and children of all ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds who live on the streets or use the services of shelters. Baker notes that although many homeless individuals lack familial support, there is a difference in men's and women's relationships with their families. In particular, homeless women often have less desire than men for contact with their families of origin, yet are more likely than men to be accompanied by dependent children.
