Health status and health care experiences among homeless patients in federally supported health centers: findings from the 2009 patient survey.
This study examined health status and health care experiences of homeless patients in health centers and compared them to nonhomeless counterparts. It found that homeless patients had worse health status (chronic conditions, mental health problems, and substance abuse) compared with housed respondents. They were also twice as likely to have unmet medical needs in the past year.
