SDRG Research Brief: Pathways to Young Adult Homelessness in Western Nations: Risk Factors in the Teen Years

The Social Development Research Group (SDRG) periodically highlights our publications through a Research Brief. Our goal for this series is to share important research findings and draw attention to the outstanding work being done by SDRG researchers.

The study discussed this brief looks at risk factors for homelessness amongst young adult participants in the International Youth Development Study in the United States and Australia, and suggests that prevention programs targeting risk factors from adolescence to young adulthood may reduce risk for later homelessness. Programming should strengthen family management and healthy relationship-building skills. We hope you find this Research Brief informative.
