This self-reported, point-in-time survey assessed a broad range of demographic information, pre-homelessness and homelessness variables, and mental health indicators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Survey data were obtained from 1103 youth accessing Canadian homelessness services in the Nunavut territory and all Canadian provinces except for Prince Edward Island. Forty-two per cent of participants reported 1 or more suicide attempts, 85.4% fell in a high range of psychological distress, and key indicators of risk included an earlier age of the first episode of homelessness, female gender, and identifying as a sexual and\/or gender minority (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and 2 spirit [LGBTQ2S]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study provides clear and compelling evidence of a need for mental health support for these youth, particularly LGBTQ2S youth and female youth. The mental health concerns observed here, however, must be considered in the light of the tremendous adversity in all social determinants faced by these youth, with population-level interventions best leveraged in prevention and rapid response.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0706743717702076","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,3]],"date-time":"2017-04-03T20:36:49Z","timestamp":1491251809000},"page":"493-500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["The 2015 National Canadian Homeless Youth Survey: Mental Health and Addiction Findings"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"Sean A.","family":"Kidd","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephen","family":"Gaetz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Education, York University, Toronto, Ontario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bill","family":"O\u2019Grady","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr4-0706743717702076","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370104600705"},{"key":"bibr5-0706743717702076","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/095001702762217425"},{"key":"bibr6-0706743717702076","unstructured":"Karabanow J.
