[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 9R0xpqtq. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We compared estimated population-based health outcomes for New York City (NYC) homeless families with NYC residents overall and in low-income neighborhoods. Methods. We matched a NYC family shelter user registry to mortality, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and blood lead test registries maintained by the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (2001-2003). Results. Overall adult age-adjusted death rates were similar among the 3 populations. HIV/AIDS and substance-use deaths were 3 and 5 times higher for homeless adults than for the general population ; only substance-use deaths were higher than for low-income adults. Children who experienced homeless-ness appeared to be at an elevated risk of mortality (41.3 vs 22.5 per 100000 ; P<. seven in adult and child deaths occurred outside shelter. hiv diagnosis rates were more than twice citywide but comparable with low-income whereas tuberculosis times higher both populations. homeless children had lower blood lead testing a proportion of levels over micrograms per deciliter did comparison conclusions. morbidity mortality between adults slightly risk on some measures possibly reflects the impact poverty poor-quality unstable housing.>
