THE HEALTH CARE FOR HOMELESS PERSONS: A MANUAL OF COMMUNICABLE DISEASES & COMMON PROBLEMS IN SHELTERS & ON THE STREETS This lavishly illustrated, 384-page manual describes serious health problems that commonly afflict homeless persons and discusses appropriate responses and treatment. There are chapters on hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C, and the manual addresses communicable diseases and infections, major medications, heat-related conditions and cold-related injuries, emerging challenges, management of chronic illnesses, immunizations, food management in shelters and soup kitchens, and more. It includes convenient patient education materials in English and Spanish that can be easily reproduced and given to shelter guests and staff. The manual is no longer available in print, but you may download it at no charge. © 2004 Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program
