Homelessness continues to increase in the United States. Families comprise the fastest growing segment of the homeless population, and estimates suggest that women head 90% of homeless families. Pregnant homeless women are exposed to more cumulative violence than are comparable low-income, housed women. Intervention strategies that may improve health care provided to pregnant homeless women include abuse and safety assessment protocols and the use of a hand-carried health record. These interventions are directed at efforts to preserve the woman's autonomy and confidentiality, reduce areas of client-provider conflict, and generally improve encounters between the client and the health care system.
在美国，无家可归者的数量持续增加。家庭是无家可归人口中增长最快的群体，据估计，90%的无家可归家庭由女性当家。与同等收入的有住房的低收入女性相比，怀孕的无家可归女性遭受的累积暴力更多。可能改善为怀孕无家可归女性提供的医疗保健的干预策略包括虐待和安全评估方案以及使用便携式健康记录。这些干预措施旨在维护女性的自主权和隐私，减少医患冲突领域，并总体上改善患者与医疗保健系统之间的接触。
