Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Snow and Anderson's proposition suggests that the longer a homeless person is on the street, the more difficult it becomes to get off the street. This is likely due to a variety of factors, including the development of mental health issues, physical deterioration, and social isolation. While the other choices may also have some relation to time on the street, they are not specifically supported by Snow and Anderson's study.
