This study measured symptoms of depression, low self\u2010esteem, ADHD, suicidality, self\u2010injurious behavior (SIB), and drug and alcohol use disorder in a sample of homeless youth and young adults living in Hollywood, CA. Results indicated extremely high prevalences of mental health problems, as compared with corresponding rates of mental health problems found among housed youths in previous studies. Prevalence of mental health problems differed by age and ethnicity. African Americans were at lower risk of suicidal thoughts and SIB than were those of other ethnicities. Older respondents and females were at increased risk of depressive symptoms, and younger respondents were at increased risk of SIB. Previous history of sexual abuse and\/or assault was associated with increased risk of suicidality and SIB. Risk factors for drug abuse disorder included ethnicity other than African American, homelessness for 1 year or more, suicidality, SIB, depressive symptoms, and low self\u2010esteem. Risk factors for alcohol abuse disorder included male gender, white ethnicity, homelessness for 1 year or more, suicidality, and SIB. Extremely high rates of mental health problems and substance abuse disorders in this sample suggest the need for street\u2010based and nontraditional mental health services targeted toward these youths and young adults.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1023\/a:1024680727864","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,9,15]],"date-time":"2003-09-15T21:37:08Z","timestamp":1063661828000},"page":"371-394","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":150,"title":["Homeless Youths and Young Adults in Los Angeles: Prevalence of Mental Health Problems and the Relationship Between Mental Health and Substance Abuse Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Jennifer B.","family":"Unger","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michele D.","family":"Kipke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thomas R.","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susanne B.","family":"Montgomery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine J.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004583-199207000-00012"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/0471725153"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/002221948902200906"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordjournals.epirev.a036178"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1559-1816.1987.tb00330.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00754409"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","first-page":"735","article-title":"Prevalence and correlates of cutting behavior: Risk for HIV transmission.
