Race and ethnicity<br />
As can be seen from Figure 6 below, the <strong>SMD</strong><br />
population as defined here is predominantly<br />
white, in line with the working age population<br />
of England as a whole, but this is most strongly<br />
the case in the substance-only group (89%),<br />
and least so with respect to the homeless-only<br />
group (74%). There is the reverse story for<br />
black and mixed race clients of the relevant<br />
oup Composition of <strong>SMD</strong> Categories<br />
agencies: these groups are strongly overrepresented<br />
in the homeless-only category,<br />
and also to some extent in the homelessoffender<br />
and offender-only groups. Asians are<br />
generally underrepresented in all of these <strong>SMD</strong><br />
populations, except homeless-only. Again,<br />
this pattern of ethnicity mix echoes closely<br />
that found in previous research (McNaughton<br />
Nicholls & Quilgars, 2009; Fitzpatrick<br />
et al., 2012).<br />
