Resource access and use: Impacts on distal minority stressors for racial and sexual diverse youth in rural and urban contexts
Sexually and racially diverse (SD) adolescents experience elevated proximal and distal minority stressors that vary across school, community, and policy contexts. Limited research has examined how access to and use of LGBTQIA+ supportive structures, such as Gender and Sexualities Alliances (GSAs), LGBTQIA+ community centers, and affirming school staff, shape distal minority stress for racially and sexually diverse youth across geographic settings…
Housing instability over time and mental health among sexual and gender minority adolescents in the United States
Associations between Local and State Structural Stigma, Minority stress, and Mental Health in a Nationwide Sample of Sexual Minority Adolescents
Structural stigma, which includes policies and attitudes that mark minorities for discrimination, contributes to sexual minority adolescents’ (SMA) stress and mental health disparities, yet the relative contributions of county- vs. state-level stigma remain unknown. This study examined how structural stigma affects SMA exposure to minority stress and mental health symptoms with a U.S. national sample of SMA ( N = 2,558, ages 14-17, M = 15.9), of …
Adoption and Implementation of California State Transgender and Nonbinary Protections in Los Angeles Area High Schools

Validation of interaction-based egocentric elicitation using ecological momentary assessment with young adults currently or formerly homeless
The Effect of Momentary Affect on Substance Use among Young Adults Who Experience Homelessness
IntroductionLittle is known about the momentary patterns and predictors of substance use among young adults who experience homelessness. To enhance understanding of substance use patterns, smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) was utilized to examine the real-time association between affect and substance use. Methods: 251 young adults (aged 18–27) with history of homelessness were recruited from supportive housing programs and dr…
Couch-surfing and mental health outcomes among sexual minority adolescents
Background: Sexual minority youth are at more than twice the risk of experiencing homelessness than their peers and both sexual minority youth and youth experiencing homelessness have disproportionate risk for mental health disorder symptoms. Couch-surfing is a common form of homelessness experienced by youth, but research on the relationship between couch-surfing and mental health outcomes, especially among sexual minority adolescents (SMA), is …

The current study sought to better understand service use and perceived safety in community and service settings among SGM and cisgender heterosexual (cis‐hetero) young adults experiencing homelessness. Data come from a mixed‐method, ecological momentary assessment study ( n = 80; 43% sexual minority; 10% gender min…
Health Care Needs of Young Adults Who Have Experienced Homelessness
INTRODUCTION: Young adults experiencing homelessness have poorer overall health compared with the general population. However, not much is known about how health care needs may change in the transition from homelessness to supportive housing. This study utilizes the Gelberg-Andersen Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations to examine unmet health care needs among young adults currently experiencing homelessness and formerly homeless young adul…
Burden, Belonging, and Homelessness: Disclosure and Social Network Differences among LGBTQ Youth Recruited from a Suicide Crisis Service Provider
Among LGBTQ youth, suicidality and homelessness occur at heightened rates. Using the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (ITS), this study seeks to explore the associations of having a parent, family member, friend, or romantic partner in one's social network and not being "out" to specific network members (lack of disclosure) with ITS constructs (perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belonging), considering homelessness history. Data include 462 you…
Does the Timing of Incarceration Impact the Timing and Duration of Homelessness? Evidence from “The Transitions to Housing” Study
Compared to their non-homeless peers, chronically homeless adults are much more likely to have a history of incarceration. In turn, homelessness is associated with increased morbidity, lack of access to adequate healthcare services, and decreased life expectancy. This study investigates whether age at first incarceration is associated with age at first homeless experience and with lifetime duration of literal homelessness. Study participants are …

Investigating Sleep Disturbance and Its Correlates Among Formerly Homeless Adults in Permanent Supportive Housing
BACKGROUND: Adults experiencing homelessness have a high burden of sleep disturbance, which may be reduced by accessing permanent supportive housing. OBJECTIVES: To assess sleep disturbances and their correlates, including demographics, activity level, health status, age-related health issues (eg, functionality and cognitive impairment), substance use, and homelessness history in a sample of permanent supportive housing (PSH) tenants. RESEARCH DE…
Examining Sleep Disturbance Among Sheltered and Unsheltered Transition Age Youth Experiencing Homelessness
BACKGROUND: The estimated 3.5-million transition age youth (TAY) who experience homelessness in the United States annually are routinely exposed to inadequate sleep environments and other psychosocial risk factors for deficient sleep. Although staying in a shelter versus being unsheltered may facilitate sleep, research suggests that perceived safety wherever one sleeps may be just as important. In this study, which is the first known study to inv…
Risk behaviour and access to HIV/Aids prevention services among formerly homeless young adults living in housing programmes
Young adults who experience homelessness have high rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV. Homelessness services programmes that provide housing to young adults have the capacity to reduce STI risk profiles. This study analysed data from 140 formerly homeless adults who moved into a housing programme in Los Angeles County between the ages of 18 and 25 years to investigate risk behaviour and access to HIV/AIDS prevention ser…
Gender Differences in Residents’ Intention to Leave Permanent Supportive Housing

This study seeks to better understand the socioenvironmental factors associated with residents’ intention to leave PSH, including whether there are gender differences in intention to leave. Method: Data are from 383 chr…
Provider perspectives of housing programs for young adults experiencing homelessness
Availability of comprehensive services in permanent supportive housing in Los Angeles
Studies have often described a specific model or models of permanent supportive housing (PSH), yet few studies have systematically examined what services are typically offered to PSH tenants in any given service system and how those services are offered. Using telephone surveys from 23 PSH agency supervisors and qualitative data collected from 11 focus groups with 60 frontline providers and 17 individual interviews with supervisors from a subset …
Understanding Risk Environments in Permanent Supportive Housing for Formerly Homeless Adults
In this study, we used ethnographic methods and a risk environment framework to consider how contextual factors produce or reduce risk for substance use with a sample of 27 adults who recently moved into permanent supportive housing (PSH). Most apparent was how the social and physical environments interacted, because most participants focused on how having an apartment had dramatically changed their lives and how they interact with others. Specif…
Changes in Social Networks and HIV Risk Behaviors Among Homeless Adults Transitioning Into Permanent Supportive Housing: A Mixed Methods Pilot Study
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) has been recognized by the U.S. federal government as the “clear solution” to chronic homelessness. Whether and how access to PSH affects HIV risk is unclear. This mixed methods pilot study uses a convergent parallel design in order to better understand social relationships and HIV risk during the transition from homelessness to PSH. Findings suggest that (a) Sexual activity and HIV risk behaviors increase with …
The 'No Contact Mother: Reconstructions of Motherhood in the Era of the 'New Father
This article examines the production of new narratives of ‘selfish motherhood’ in family law, in the context of disputes about parent‐child contact after separation. In the first section, I draw on my empirical research of contact enforcement litigation to tease out the contradictions and gaps between the dominant, or ‘stock’, stories of contact disputes, and some ‘counter’ stories that have emerged from the study. The second part of the article …

We used logistic regressions to assess the correlates of being a cyberbully perpetrator, victim, and perpet…
Social Context of Service Use Among Homeless Youth in Los Angeles, California
Little is known about rates and correlates of service use or the role that social context plays in service engagement among homeless youth. This study compares two distinct service areas and uses a social network approach to examine how environmental factors (e.g., neighborhood), social factors (e.g., social capital and network engagement) and individual level factors that relate to service use patterns among homeless youth in Los Angeles, Califo…
Depressive Symptoms and Their Association With Adverse Environmental Factors and Substance Use in Runaway and Homeless Youths
We used diathesis-stress and stress-sensitization models to determine whether family maltreatment, street-related traumatic events, stressful life events, and substance use were associated with depressive symptoms in runaway and homeless youths (RHY) in Los Angeles. Greater severity of depressive symptoms was significantly related to family maltreatment, being exposed to more traumatic stressors during homelessness, and current substance use comp…

Exploring the Association of Community Integration in Mental Health among Formerly Homeless Individuals Living in Permanent Supportive Housing
Supportive housing has been widely used among persons experiencing chronic homelessness and/or mental health conditions. While it has been demonstrated to be effective in addressing homelessness among populations with complex needs, community integration remains a challenge. Community integration is the extent to which individuals live, participate, and socialize in their community and consists of three aspects: physical, social, and psychologica…
Los Angeles housing models and neighbourhoods’ role in supportive housing residents’ social integration
Social integration is an indicator of programmatic success in supportive housing, yet is an ongoing challenge for residents. This study examines varying supportive housing models’ (i.e. congregate, single-site, scatter-site) and neighborhoods’ (i.e. Skid Row, Downtown Los Angeles [DTLA], Other) differential impact on social integration outcomes- measured by residents’ social networks (i.e. size, diversity, social support). Participants were forme…

Reforming Custody Laws: A Comparative Study
This article looks at the outcomes of recent custody law reform inquiries in Canada and Australia, and examines the ways in which the reform processes in each country dealt with the claims of the various stakeholders and the emerging empirical research on post-separation parenting. Although the outcomes of the two processes were significantly different - one espousing a belief that 'no one size fits all families', the other promoting different ap…
Life Goals Over Time Among Homeless Adults in Permanent Supportive Housing
Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is a widely‐accepted solution to the challenge of chronic homelessness. While housing support and retention, physical health, and healthcare continue to be important for formerly homeless persons in PSH, “higher‐order” and humanistic needs such as thriving have received less attention and as a result are less well understood in this population. One important indicator of thriving is the ability to establish and …
