Abstract: The number of homeless young people in Australia is continuing to increase with consequences for their health and well-being that extend across the life-course. Research into the prevention of adolescent and young adult homelessness is now a priority. In this article, Dr Jess Heerde and colleagues discuss how we might use research to develop new approaches which, if adopted, would bring huge social and economic benefits.
