Burden of treatment among Delhi's homeless: analysing Street Medicine consultations

DOI

This dataset contains the raw diagnoses made by Street Medicine teams from Jan '16 to Jun '18. Street Medicine teams in Delhi have been recording demographic and diagnostic information about the homeless patients they treat since January 2016. Each team consists of one doctor, one nurse or auxiliary-nurse-midwife, one social worker and one driver-cum-social worker. Across the period of data collection, the team repeatedly visited 21 locations, which reflects their two-weekly schedule. Two to three locations are usually visited per day, with some locations visited more than once over a two-week period. When a Street Medicine professional treats a homeless individual, a new entry is made in a register of the individual’s indicated condition, symptom or disease, as well as their name, date of consultation, age, sex, religion, location of consultation, and place of origin.
