Bridging the gap--health care for the homeless

Abstract

In Australia and other countries concern exists about the extent of homelessness. Because we live in a period in which access to adequate shelter is an increasing problem for many persons, we report on the health needs of long-term homeless persons. Little attention was given to their health needs during the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless in 1987.
