Sumario:Youth experiencing homelessness (YEH) often face increased levels of adversity and higher rates of trauma, suicide, and mortality compared to their housed peers.

Further discussion contributes to the theoretical basis for future public health research and intervention work addressing youth homelessness and related adversities.
