We compared estimated population-based health outcomes for New York City (NYC) homeless families with NYC residents overall and in low-income neighborhoods. <\/jats:p><jats:p> 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\u20132003). <\/jats:p><jats:p> 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 homelessness appeared to be at an elevated risk of mortality (41.3 vs 22.5 per 100 000; P &lt; .05). Seven in 10 adult and child deaths occurred outside shelter. Adult HIV\/AIDS diagnosis rates were more than twice citywide rates but comparable with low-income rates, whereas tuberculosis rates were 3 times higher than in both populations. Homeless children had lower blood lead testing rates and a higher proportion of lead levels over 10 micrograms per deciliter than did both comparison populations. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. Morbidity and mortality levels were comparable between homeless and low-income adults; homeless children's slightly higher risk on some measures possibly reflects the impact of poverty and poor-quality, unstable housing. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2010.193102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,14]],"date-time":"2011-01-14T02:02:33Z","timestamp":1294970553000},"page":"546-553","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["A Population-Based Assessment of the Health of Homeless Families in New York City, 2001\u20132003"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Bonnie D.","family":"Kerker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jay","family":"Bainbridge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Kennedy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yussef","family":"Bennani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tracy","family":"Agerton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dova","family":"Marder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Forgione","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Faciano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorna E.","family":"Thorpe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"844","reference":[{"key":"bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.293.22.2762"},{"key":"bib2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM199806113382406"},{"key":"bib3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.283.16.2152"},{"key":"bib4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.89.4.529"},{"key":"bib5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCULATIONAHA.104.510826"},{"key":"bib6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0193945905278385"},{"key":"bib7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.050406"},{"key":"bib9","volume-title":"Helping America's Homeless: Emergency Shelter or Affordable Housing?","author":"Burt M","year":"2001"},{"key":"bib10","unstructured":"The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Third Homelessness Pulse Report.
