The health circumstances of homeless women in the United States
Article Abstract:
Descriptive statistics and the multivariate results are drawn from nine major papers produced using data from the UCLA Homeless Women's Health Study to provide one of the first comprehensive profiles of the social, economic and health circumstances of homeless women in the US. Findings from the analysis reveal that the severity of the homeless condition itself is strongly associated with poor health and inadequate use of health services among these women.
