Youth and provider perspectives of Wahine Talk: A holistic sexual health and pregnancy prevention program developed with and for homeless youth
2018, Children and Youth Services ReviewCitation Excerpt :In a recent nationally representative study, 4.3% of youth under 18 and 12.5% of youth aged 18–25 years were found to have experienced homelessness over a 12 month period (Morton et al., 2018). Homelessness disrupts the healthy development of youth, many of whom leave home due to unfavorable home lives where physical and sexual abuse, neglect, and substance abuse are common (Farrow, Deisher, Brown, Kulig, & Kipke, 1992). Further, homelessness can impede youths' development physically, emotionally, psychologically, and socially, making the development of a healthy sense of self or establishment of healthy, supportive peer relationships challenging (Farrow et al., 1992).
Residential patterns in older homeless adults: Results of a cluster analysis
2016, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :Although such individuals may rely on environmental modifications and external supports to mitigate impairments, homelessness impedes the ability to control one's environment (Kushel, 2012). Previous work has used typologies of homelessness to understand the choices made by individuals who experience homelessness and the actions of the institutional structures that were established to serve them (Adlaf and Zdanowicz, 1999; Farrow et al., 1992; Jahiel and Babor, 2011), the most enduring of which is a time-aggregated approach describing chronic, episodic, and transitional patterns of homelessness using shelter data from New York City (Kuhn and Culhane, 1998). Shelters however house only a subpopulation of homeless individuals.
