Poverty Medicine

Here are some MeSH that I found for Poverty Medicine:
  • Poverty
  • Poverty Areas
  • Homeless Persons
  • Medical Indigency


There are similar ones in CINAHL:
  • Poverty
  • Homelessness
  • Homeless Persons
  • Health Services for the Indigent
  • Indigent Persons


Keywords of potential use:
  • impoverish*
  • disadvantaged
  • vulnerable
  • "at risk"
  • marginali*
  • "street involved"
  • street
 The last one is because I came across some other variations such as "street entrenched" and "street youth", but of course you're also more likely to come across irrelevant results.
