| Abstract: | PurposeThis study examined risk and resilience indicators in a sample of young adults experiencing homelessness to identify subgroups with different service needs.MethodsData came from a 2014 survey of homeless young adults (age 18–24) in Houston (n = 374). Participants self-reported risk and resilience indicators which were used to fit a latent class model.ResultsA four-class solution was the best fit. Group-1 (n = 73), had high adult support and low trauma. Group-2 (n = 60) had low trauma but low adult support. Group-3 (n = 151), had high trauma exposure, high rates of mental health problems and low substance use. Group-4 (n = 90), had high rates across all risk variables.ConclusionTrauma, adult support, and substance use were key distinguishing features to inform screening and service planning. |
