最近的研究表明，无家可归的青少年的配置文件是异质性的，某些集群的无家可归的青少年表现出弹性和积极的应对策略。这项研究考察了两年期间无家可归青少年的艾滋病毒相关风险因素与弹性（生存技能）之间的关系。那些没有进行无保护性行为的人报告了更高的生存技能得分。同样，在研究期间，那些一夫一妻制的人报告了更高的生存技能得分。然而，有一个显着下降，生存技能评分6个月后，无论艾滋病毒相关的风险因素。这项研究的结果指出，迫切需要及早识别和针对弹性青少年提供干预措施，以促进过渡到稳定的生活状况之前，他们的弹性恶化。
Recent studies on homeless adolescents suggest that the profiles of homeless adolescents are heterogeneous, and that certain clusters of homeless adolescents demonstrated resiliency and positive coping strategies. This study examined the relationship between HIV-related risk factors and resiliency (survival skills) of homeless adolescents over a 2-year period. Those who did not engage in unprotected sex reported significantly higher survival skills scores. Similarly, those who were monogamous during the study period reported significantly higher survival skills scores. However, there was a significant decline in survival skills scores after 6 months, regardless of the HIV-related risk factors. Findings from this study point to the urgent need to identify and target resilient adolescents early on to provide interventions to facilitate the transition to stable living situations before their resiliency deteriorates.
