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

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.

本数据集包含2016年1月至2018年6月期间街头医疗团队（Street Medicine teams）出具的原始诊断记录。德里的街头医疗团队自2016年1月起，便持续记录所接诊的无家可归患者的人口统计学信息与诊断信息。每支团队由1名医生、1名护士或助理护士助产士、1名社会工作者以及1名司机兼社会工作者组成。在整个数据采集周期内，团队累计巡访21个点位，且遵循每两周一次的巡访排班；单日通常会前往2至3个点位，部分点位在两周周期内会被多次到访。当街头医疗从业人员为无家可归者提供诊疗服务时，团队会在登记册中为该个体新建一条登记条目，记录其主诉病症、症状或疾病，以及姓名、就诊日期、年龄、性别、宗教信仰、就诊点位与原籍地。
