The impact of HIV on adolescent psychosocial development

A Model of Integrated Care for HIV-Positive and Very High-Risk Youth

The project has provided outreach to 8400 youth at risk and has provided clinical services to 296 young men (16.6% HIV positive) and 352 young women (9.1% HIV positive). Situated within the Division of Adolescent Medicine at Childrens Hospital Los Angeles, the project consists of a general medical clinic for youth along with psychosocial services including case management, counseling, and related ancillary services. A key part of the model is to provide health services within a general medical clinic for youth where participation in the clinic does not serve to identify a youth to his or her peers in the waiting room as having HIV. Another key part of the mod...

Risk factors and characteristics of youth living with, or at high risk for, HIV

Over 8,000 adolescents and young adults (4,111 males; 4,085 females) reported on several HIV-rela... more Over 8,000 adolescents and young adults (4,111 males; 4,085 females) reported on several HIV-related risk behaviors during enrollment into 10 service demonstration projects targeted to youth living with, or at risk for, HIV. Distinct risk patterns emerged by gender when predicting HIV serostatus (versus unknown serostatus/negative serostatus). Males who had injection drug risk histories, had sex with an HIV positive partner, had sexually transmitted diseases, had sex with males, and/or were homeless had an inflated risk of being HIV positive. Females who engaged in sex with an HIV partner, had sex with an injection drug user, and/or had sexually transmitted diseases, were at the highest HIV risk. For both samples, engaging in sex with women reduced the likelihood of HIV positive status. Very basic information about risk factors obtained at service intake offers important information about HIV status of "high risk" youth presenting for care in community programs, as well as...

Service Use Patterns of Youth with, and at High Risk for, HIV: A Care Typology

Although the projects differ from one another in the areas of emphasis in their service models, each is targeted to youth at high risk for HIV, or those youth who have already contracted HIV. Collectively, the projects represent a comprehensive adolescent HIV service model. This paper exam ines the characteristics of the services provided to young people ranging from outreach to intensive participation in medical treatment. Major typologies of service utilization are derived empirically through exploratory factor and cluster analysis methods. Confirmatory structural equation modeling methods are used to refine the exploratory results using a derivation and replication strategy and methods of statistical estimation appropriate for non-normally distributed service utilization indicators. The model hypothesizes that youth enter the service system through a gen-359

This brief emerges from "No Way Home: Understanding the Needs and Experiences of Homeless Youth in Hollywood", a report released by the HHYP in November 2010 presenting findings from a multi-method needs assessment conducted with 389 homeless youth ages 12 to 25 in the Hollywood community.The purpose of this brief is to address the inadequacies of prioritizing permanent housing as the only solution for homeless youth, identify the major limitations of our existing housing programs, and advocate for developing a national housing strategy and funding a full housing continuum for homeless young people that is responsive to their unique needs and circumstances. This brief is being released at a time of unprecedent...

Homeless Adolescents: Identification, Outreach, Engagement, Housing, and Stabilization

Clinical Care for Homeless, Runaway and Refugee Youth, 2020

Poverty, family homelessness, childhood maltreatment, and involvement in foster care and juvenile justice systems place youth at increased risk for homelessness; 19% of youth experience homelessness within 2 years of leaving foster care. Homelessness disproportionately affects African-American, Latino, and Native American (Indigenous) youth and those who identify as LGBTQ. While many youth experiencing homelessness can successfully return to their families of origin or reestablish connections with family members, others acculturate to the streets and experience increased health risks associated with prolonged homelessness. Targeted outreach is needed to engage youth and link them to services, and service environments need to be welcoming of homeless youth, safe and accepting. Youth need a range of housing options to stabilize. Interventions should target risk and protective factors and utilize positive youth development approaches and trauma-informed care to engage youth; build their skills and competencies; and promote their growth, healing, and well-being. Coordination among service providers and across systems, utilization of evidence-based interventions and data-driven strategies, and rigorous monitoring and evaluation are required to end youth homelessness.
