1 Health and wellbeing of people living on the streets in South Africa John Seager and Tsiliso Tamasane Human Sciences Research Council South Africa Health & Homelessness Conference 6 September 28 Oxford
2 AIM As part of a wider multidisciplinary study of homelessness in South Africa, this research aimed to explore the health and wellbeing of homeless adults and children, their access to and utilisation of health services, and selected health risk behaviours.
3 METHODS Definition of homelessness The study focused on the absolute homeless i.e. people who sleep in the open, one or more nights per week, plus those making use of shelters specifically for the homeless
4 METHODS. Qualitative research Key informant interviews (24) and focus groups (2) with homeless people, both on the streets and staying in shelters, in Cape Town and Johannesburg. 2. Quantitative research Questionnaire survey (35 children, 942 adults) for people living on the streets of Johannesburg, Pretoria, and 3 smaller towns. Ethical approval was obtained from the HSRC Research Ethics Committee. Informed consent, or assent for minors, was obtained from all respondents.
5 RESULTS Usual sleeping place Count Percent Street Park/Bush 2 6. Shelter 8.8 Vacant building Station (train/bus/taxi) Friends, connections Under bridge 9.5 Car park 6.5 Toilet 6.5 Other (open space, shower, dump site, etc.) Total 247.

12 Access to health services Some of the street adolescents said: We are not treated well at hospitals They [nurses] treat us differently because we are homeless They made me wait for a long time without attending to me I slept on the floor the whole night I got treated at around 4 a.m. Some reported verbal abuse, such as being told they were smelly, by health staff.
13 Injury and assault we get reports of injuries every week. Recently, there have been reports of a boy who fell from the bridge, three cases of skull fractures and one report of a stab wound Shelter Manager

20 Potentially hazardous drinking Adults Hazardous drinkers (AUDIT* >=) Male 25.% Female 9.8% Non hazardous drinkers (AUDIT <) 75.% 8.2% *WHO Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)
21 Sexual risk behaviour Transactional sex was common When girls were asked if they were forced to have boyfriends, typical answers were: Yes. You get protection that way. Yes. Who will look after you? Where will you get money to buy soap, clothes? It s in your own interest to have another man, sooner.
22 Reported sexual behaviour Child Adult Sexual intercourse in the last 3 months Used a condom at last sexual intercourse Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) in the last year 26.% 22.9% 5.6% 56.2% 36.7% 7.5%
23 TB prevalence Homeless vs. National Population (males only) 2 Percent Homeless SADHS Age-group
24 Conclusion A lasting impression when talking to homeless people is that they are vulnerable yet resourceful people. Their lifestyle exposes them to many health risks but most of these are preventable with basic public health interventions. Government health services and NGOs provide reasonable care for common illnesses but mental health problems are probably underdiagnosed. To prevent children from ending up on the streets we need to address poverty in their communities of origin.
