The aim of this study was to describe the health of young people attending a youth health service in Western Sydney who were experiencing homelessness.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Retrospective case note review for clients aged 12\u201325 years attending Youth Health Services in Western Sydney.

In comparison with currently domiciled young people, homeless youth were less likely to have a regular general practitioner and more likely to nominate a physical health concern as a presenting issue, although there was no difference between groups in terms of <jats:italic>diagnosed<\/jats:italic> mental or physical health conditions. Considered as a whole, the sample showed high rates of acute physical symptoms, physical trauma, psychological distress and self\u2010harm.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Youth homelessness is associated with risk of both poor physical and mental health. As much of youth homelessness is hidden, health\u2010care providers need to ensure that they inquire about homelessness status, and have an awareness of potentially complex multi\u2010morbidities in the physical and mental health of young marginalised people presenting to health services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.13590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,10]],"date-time":"2017-06-10T06:32:42Z","timestamp":1497076362000},"page":"995-999","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Health
