the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that substance addiction affects the majority of people experiencing homelessness in the United States?

Unclear. The retrieved items show that substance use and substance use disorders are common in selected homeless populations—treatment admissions, a small qualitative sample, and clinical trials—but none measures what share of all people experiencing homelessness in the United States have a substance addiction, so the majority claim is not settled.
