本文探讨了新近无家可归青少年的歧视经历与 6 个月后摆脱无家可归之间的关系。研究人员招募了 262 名年龄在 12 至 20 岁的无家可归青少年作为样本，并对其进行了纵向跟踪（6 个月保留率 = 88%）。歧视与男同性恋、女同性恋或双性恋 (LGB) 有关。来自家庭的歧视与摆脱无家可归有关。除了男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者之外，报告受到家庭歧视的青少年比未报告此类歧视的青少年更有可能摆脱无家可归状态。对未来研究的建议包括关注 LGB 无家可归青少年的经历、家庭在无家可归青少年生活中的作用以及歧视的其他方面，包括显着性、频率、强度和持续时间。
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 who reported discrimination from their families were more likely to exit homelessness than adolescents who did not report such discrimination. Suggestions for future research include focusing on the experiences of LGB homeless adolescents, the role of families in the lives of homeless adolescents, and other aspects of discrimination, including salience, frequency, intensity, and duration.
