Health care utilization among homeless adolescents and young adults

Abstract

A probability sample of Californian homeless females was examined for health service utilization, comparing adolescents to older women. Adolescent homeless women reported higher outpatient visit use. Possessing public health insurance increased the odds of outpatient visits. Future research might use the outpatient setting to aid adolescents in exiting homelessness.
