摘要
Our clinical contacts with street youth support the view that their numbers are growing and that their medical needs are largely neglected. We describe our experience in providing medical care to street youth in Seattle, with attention to their medical presentations and patterns of health care utilization. We address aspects of adolescent street life that are unique to that particular mode of living or importantly formative in the lives of persons drawn to it.
