Abstract:

This integrative review systematized the factors that influences access to mental health services for homeless people in harmful use of alcohol and other drugs in the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS) in Brazil, by categorizing the factors into \"barriers\" and \"facilitators\" of access. Thirteen corresponding articles were ed, with subsequent assessment of their methodological quality. We identified 19 barriers and 22 facilitators of access, observing a convergence and complementarity of the factors identified, with no disagreements between authors. Although there are specific barriers and facilitators related to substance use, most are connected to the conditions and lifestyles of HP, or to the ways in which services deal with HP. Discrimination, bureaucratic rigidity of services, and a lack of intra- and intersectoral integration were identified as significant barriers. On the other hand, the \" Consultórios na Rua \'\' (Street Clinics) and practices such as harm reduction and matrix support emerged as notable facilitators, adapting to patients\' needs. There is a need for future studies that explore specific factors and the relationships between these factors, and propose feasible strategies for health policies and services to be able to offer equitable access to HP.
