We estimated the incidence of homelessness during the transition to adulthood and identified the risk and protective factors that predict homelessness during this transition.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods. Using data from the Midwest Evaluation of the Adult Functioning of Former Foster Youth, a longitudinal study of youths aging out of foster care in 3 Midwestern states, and a bounds approach, we estimated the cumulative percentage of youths who become homeless during the transition to adulthood. We also estimated a discrete time hazard model that predicted first reported episode of homelessness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results. Youths aging out of foster care are at high risk for becoming homeless during the transition to adulthood. Between 31% and 46% of our study participants had been homeless at least once by age 26 years. Running away while in foster care, greater placement instability, being male, having a history of physical abuse, engaging in more delinquent behaviors, and having symptoms of a mental health disorder were associated with an increase in the relative risk of becoming homeless.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions. Policy and practice changes are needed to reduce the risk that youths in foster care will become homeless after aging out.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2105\/ajph.2013.301455","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,22]],"date-time":"2013-10-22T16:38:05Z","timestamp":1382459885000},"page":"S318-S323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":251,"title":["Homelessness During the Transition From Foster Care to Adulthood"],"prefix":"10.2105","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Amy","family":"Dworsky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Amy Dworsky is with Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, Chicago, IL.
