Abstract

Health inequities among street-involved youth are theorized to be due to transience, which disconnects them from social capital, however, transience has been variously defined and seldom studied in health research. We derived two measures in the same survey, geographical transience (the movement between cities or regions) and residential transience (numbers of types of housing), to test whether transience is linked to social disconnection, health risk behaviours and service access among street-involved youth in Canada.
