集中在许多已发表的研究，涉及无家可归的儿童在美国的中心目标，本文总结了无家可归对儿童的心理健康，健康，发展状况和学业成绩的影响的调查结果。研究人员一再证明，与更广泛人口中的儿童相比，无家可归和低收入住房儿童群体的贫困与更高的问题发生率有关。虽然大多数研究发现无家可归的儿童比低收入家庭的儿童面临更大的问题，但结果并不一致。可能占这些差异的研究结果的因素进行了讨论，并提供了额外的研究建议。
Focusing on the central aim of many published studies involving homeless children in the United States, this article summarizes findings on the effects of homelessness on children's mental health, health, developmental status, and academic achievement. Researchers have repeatedly documented that poverty is associated with higher rates of problems among both homeless and low-income housed groups of children in comparison to children in the broader population. Although the majority of studies have found homeless children to evidence greater problems than low-income housed children, results are inconsistent. Factors that may account for these discrepant findings are discussed, and recommendations for additional research are offered.
