Youth experiencing homelessness and HIV prevention communication: A multi-level dyadic network analysis
Understanding the Anti-Carceral Possibility of School-Based Restorative Justice: A Methodologically Inclusive Systematic Review
Restorative justice (RJ), a growing philosophical movement that has been adapted to American schools in recent decades, takes a radically egalitarian view of humans and their relationships, yet it has become entwined in reproductionist discourses and practices, specifically those around school discipline, carceral logics, and social control. Often attributed to diverse Indigenous communities, RJ is a philosophical approach to community-building t…
Housing insecurity and government housing support utilization among a nationally representative sample of transgender and gender non-conforming adults
Transgender and gender non-conforming (TGNC) individuals experience greater social adversity and negative social determinants of health compared to cisgender people. This study explored housing security and service use within a probability-based, nationally representative sample. Respondents were adults (264 TGNC; 23,096 cisgender) from the U.S. Federal Reserve Survey of Household Economics and Decision-making. Chi-square and multiple logistic re…
Artificial intelligence and climate migration equity
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of people displaced by climate-related damage to the physical and social environment. These migrants are more exposed to climate-related environmental damage than others and more vulnerable to its social and health impacts because they possess fewer resources for mitigation and adaptation. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) tools and approaches may help improve understanding …
Couch-Surfing and HIV Risk Behavior Among Young Adults Experiencing Homelessness
Young adults experiencing homelessness (YAEH) are significantly more likely to engage in HIV risk-related sexual behavior relative to their stably housed peers, and their social support networks can influence their engagement in these behaviors. However, few studies have investigated HIV risk behaviors among YAEH who are "couch-surfing," a highly prevalent network-based survival strategy that involves cycling through temporary, informal housing a…
Need for a tool to assess the health and care needs of persons experiencing homelessness in the United States
Introduction: The health needs of persons experiencing homelessness (PEH) are complex and challenging to address. We currently lack a comprehensive understanding of the health of PEH across the United States given that this information is not routinely collected, in part due to lack of an objective measure. We combined robust community advisory board member input and findings from an extensive literature review to identify existing assessment too…
Suicide-Related Disclosure Intention Among Active-Duty Servicemembers: A Generalized Linear Mixed-Model Tree Analysis
Who Supports the Troops? Social Support Domains and Sources in Active Duty Army Networks
Social support is a critical determinant of military service members’ mental and behavioral health outcomes, but few studies have investigated social support types and sources in the mixed family and military social networks in which service members are embedded. We applied multilevel logistic regression modeling to investigate links between active-duty Army Soldiers’ individual demographic and military characteristics, relational characteristics…
Longitudinal Associations between Homelessness and Substance Use: Investigating Demographic Differences for Young Adults in Treatment
Objective: To examine prospective, bidirectional associations between homelessness and substance use frequency among young adults receiving substance use treatment in the United States. We also investigated potential differences across demographic subgroups. Methods: Young adults (N = 3717, Mage = 20.1, 28% female, 7.3% sexual/gender minority, and 37% non-Hispanic White) receiving substance use treatment in the U.S. completed assessments at intak…
Financial Well-Being and Social Service Use among a Nationally Representative Sample of Sexual and Gender Minority Adults
Digital communication and social support for disadvantaged youth: A social network survey of youth experiencing homelessness
Digital technologies provide people new means for exchanging social support, though the extent to which disadvantaged populations benefit is unclear. Youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) are a vulnerable population with a range of support needs who are active digial media users. We examined the core networks of 621 YEH in the United States to assess how digital-only communication compared with any other form of contact in terms of the social sup…

Participants were also asked to list up to three individuals whom they usually asked for help on health-related ma…
Suicidal ideation among North Korean refugees in South Korea: Exploring the influence of social network characteristics by gender
Rates of death by suicide among North Korean refugees are three times higher than those among their host-country counterparts in South Korea. However, social and cultural factors predicting suicidality among North Korean refugees are not well known. Thus, we explored how social networks affect suicidal ideation in a sample of 405 North Korean refugees in South Korea using egocentric network data. Network diversity (number of different types of ti…
A multidimensional examination of psychological distress among Latina mothers with and without HIV
The Latino population is disproportionally affected by HIV in the United States. Latina women, in particular, have significantly higher rates of HIV diagnosis than their White counterparts. Latinas with HIV who are primary family caregivers face multidimensional challenges from caregiving demands to stressors related to chronic illness, acculturation, family functioning, and socioeconomic disparities, which may contribute to higher psychological …
Getting to the Root of the Problem: A Decision-Tree Analysis for Suicide Risk Among Young People Experiencing Homelessness
Objective: Although many suicide risk factors have been identified, there is limited guidance about their relative importance and the combinations of factors that heighten risk among young people experiencing homelessness (YEH). We sought to use decision-tree (DT) analyses to better understand and predict suicidal ideation and suicide attempts among YEH. Method: Using survey and social network methods, we gathered information about 940 YEH and th…

Social network correlates of education and employment service use among youth experiencing homelessness: A longitudinal study
Modeling the dynamism of HIV information diffusion in multiplex networks of homeless youth
A Sociometric Approach to Understanding Concordance in Substance Use Perceptions Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness
Objective: Most studies examining peer influence on drug-use among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) have relied on perceptions of peer use rather than measuring peers’ self-reported use, an approach that can inflate estimates of peer substance use behavior. Sociometric network data provide an optimal mechanism to compare perceptual data to actual self-reports from peers. Method: Using an event-based approach, we recruited a sample of YEH (N …
Exploring Predictors of Service Use Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness
Gender Differences in Residents’ Intention to Leave Permanent Supportive Housing
Objectives: There has been limited exploration of permanent supportive housing (PSH) tenants’ intention to exit PSH, including how satisfaction with services, apartments, and neighborhoods may impact residents’ intention to leave. 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…
Social support and pregnancy attitudes among youth experiencing homelessness
Social Exchange Theory
Social exchange theory has been an important theoretical perspective on social interaction and social networks since the 1960s. It has developed over time and is based on the work of Homans, Blau, and Emerson in sociology. It is now focused on the study of exchange networks, social cohesion, power inequalities, and trust
Adolescents Exiting Homelessness Over Two Years: The Risk Amplification and Abatement Model
The Risk Amplification and Abatement Model (RAAM), demonstrates that negative contact with socializing agents amplify risk, while positive contact abates risk for homeless adolescents. To test this model, the likelihood of exiting homelessness and returning to familial housing at 2 years and stably exiting over time are examined with longitudinal data collected from 183 newly homeless adolescents followed over 2 years in Los Angeles, CA. In suppo…
The Effects of Peer Group Network Properties on Drug Use Among Homeless Youth
The authors examine how the properties of peer networks affect amphetamine, cocaine, and injection drug use over 3 months among newly homeless adolescents, aged 12 to 20 in Los Angeles (n = 217; 83% retention at 3 months) and Melbourne (n = 119; 72% retention at 3 months). Several hypotheses regarding the effects of social network properties on the peer influence process are developed. Multivariate logistic regression analyses show that higher co…
Internet and Social Media Use as a Resource Among Homeless Youth
Little is known about internet and social media use among homeless youth. Consistent with typologies prevalent among housed youth, we found that homeless youth were using internet and social media for entertainment, sociability, and instrumental purposes. Using Haythornwaite's (2001) premise that it is important to look at the types of ties accessed in understanding the impact of new media, we found that homeless youth were predominantly using e-…

Cell Phone Use among Homeless Youth: Potential for New Health Interventions and Research
Discrimination and exiting homelessness among homeless adolescents
This article examines how newly homeless adolescents' discrimination experiences were associated with exiting homelessness after 6 months. A sample of 262 homeless adolescents, aged 12 to 20 years, were recruited and followed longitudinally (6-month retention rate = 88%). Discrimination was related to being gay, lesbian, or bisexual (LGB). Discrimination from family was related to exiting homelessness. Other than those who were LGB, adolescents w…
Position-Specific HIV Risk in a Large Network of Homeless Youths
Objectives. We examined interconnections among runaway and homeless youths (RHYs) and how aggregated network structure position was associated with HIV risk in this population. Methods. We collected individual and social network data from 136 RHYs. On the basis of these data, we generated a sociomatrix, accomplished network visualization with a “spring embedder,” and examined k-cores. We used multivariate logistic regression models to assess asso…
Cross‐National Variations in Behavioral Profiles Among Homeless Youth
Cross‐national comparisons of homeless youth in Melbourne, Australia, and Los Angeles, CA, United States were conducted. Newly ( n = 427) and experienced ( n = 864) homeless youth were recruited from each site. Compared to Australia, homeless youth in the United States were younger, more likely to be in school or jail, demonstrated fewer sexual and substance use risk acts, fewer suicidal acts, and reported less need for social services. Across si…
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 …
Social Network Analysis as a Toolkit for the Science of Social Work
The science of social work can be augmented by active engagement in social network analysis. We provide an overview of both egocentric analysis (also referred to as personal network analysis) and sociometric analysis (or whole network analysis), and discuss ways of incorporating these tools into social work research. Social network analysis is particularly useful in identifying mechanisms of social change; however, the science of social work is i…
Cyberbullying Perpetration and Victimization Among Middle-School Students
Objectives. We examined correlations between gender, race, sexual identity, and technology use, and patterns of cyberbullying experiences and behaviors among middle-school students. Methods. We collected a probability sample of 1285 students alongside the 2012 Youth Risk Behavior Survey in Los Angeles Unified School District middle schools. We used logistic regressions to assess the correlates of being a cyberbully perpetrator, victim, and perpet…
Aids Risk Behaviors among American and Australian Homeless Youth
We examined HIV/AIDS risk behaviors among homeless youth in cross‐national data collected in Melbourne, Australia (n= 398), and Los Angeles, California (n= 498). Using structural equation modeling, we found that the Australian youth reported greater involvement in AIDS risk behaviors than the American youth and the Australian youth were more involved in intervening risk factors that promote risk behaviors and less involved with protective factors…
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…
Brave new world: Mental health experiences of Puerto Ricans, immigrant Latinos, and Brazilians in Massachusetts
Depression and anxiety are of the most commonly occurring mental health disorders in the United States. Despite a variety of efficacious interventions for depression and anxiety, it is clear that ethnic minorities experience mental health care disparities in their access to mental health services and the quality of treatment they receive. Research indicates that Latino heterogeneity impacts access to depression and anxiety treatment. In addition,…
Project Hope: Online Social Network Changes in an HIV Prevention Randomized Controlled Trial for African American and Latino Men Who Have Sex With Men
Objectives. We examined whether and how an HIV prevention diffusion-based intervention spread throughout participants’ online social networks and whether changes in social network ties were associated with increased HIV prevention and testing behaviors. Methods. We randomly assigned 112 primarily racial/ethnic minority men who have sex with men (MSM) to receive peer-delivered HIV (intervention) or general health (control) information over 12 week…
A Mixed Methods Approach to Network Data Collection
There is a growing interest in examining network processes with a mix of qualitative and quantitative network data. Research has consistently shown that free recall name generators entail recall bias and result in missing data that affect the quality of social network data. This study describes a mixed methods approach for collecting social network data, combining a free recall name generator in the context of an online survey with network relati…

In 2011, 195 SMMY who use Grindr were recruited to complete an online survey in Los Angeles, California. Items focused on social context variables and depression symptomology. Hierarchical multiple regressions were conducted using an ecological framework. The best fitting model accounted for 29.5…
Community and Individual Factors Associated With Cigarette Smoking Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men
Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) have higher rates of cigarette smoking than their heterosexual counterparts, yet few studies have examined factors associated with cigarette smoking among YMSM. The present study sought to understand how different types of gay community connection (i.e., gay community identification and involvement, gay bar/club attendance) were associated with smoking among YMSM recruited through venue-based sampling in Los…
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…
Relationships Between Parenting and Dangerous Substance Use Behaviors Among Youth Experiencing Homelessness
Objective: Understanding patterns of dangerous and illicit substance use among young parents who are homeless may provide insight into how best to support this highly vulnerable group and their children.

Method: We used 4 waves of cross-sectional data from 1,010 youths ages 14–26 at 3 drop-in agencies serving youth experienci…
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…
Representations of Janissary music (Mehter) as musical exoticism in western compositions, 1670–1824
This article examines one particular type of musical exoticism in Western music: representations of janissary music or mehter (Turkish military music). Representations of this music as exoticism—a way of recasting the relationship between self and other—are shaped by, among other things, the circumstances of their composition and prevailing conventions of musical representation. Some of the conventions for representing janissary music draw heavil…
Tradition and Imitation in Pierre Certon's Déploration for Claudin de Sermisy
Families living with HIV
Given the historical emergence of the AIDS epidemic first among gay men in the developed world, HIV interventions have primarily focused on individuals rather than families. Typically not part of traditional family structures, HIV-positive gay men in Europe and the US lived primarily in societies providing essential infrastructure for survival needs that highly value individual justice and freedom. Interventions were thus designed to focus on at-…
