“…In addition to the direct risks of substance use, homeless youth who use substances are more likely to experience mental health sequelae, such as depression and anxious coping, and engage in other highrisk behaviors [78,86,87]. This, in turn, puts them at risk for various health problems.…”

Youth homelessness is a growing concern in the United States. Despite difficulties studying this population due to inconsistent definitions of what it means to be a youth and homeless, the current body of research indicates that abuse, family breakdown, and disruptive family relationships are common contributing factors to youth homelessness. Moreover, the experience of homelessness appears to have numerous adverse implications and to affect neurocognitive development and academics, as well as mental and physical health. Substance use, sexually transmitted infections, and psychiatric disorders are particularly prevalent in this population. Whereas some of these problems may be short-lived, the chronic stress and deprivation associated with homelessness may have long-term effects on development and functioning. Further, difficulties accessing adequate and developmentally-appropriate health care contribute to more serious health concerns. Suggestions for future research and interventions are discussed.

“…Delay discounting is a putative measure of impulsivity (Johnson & Bickel, 2002;Madden, Begotka, Raiff, & Kastern, 2003), with higher discounting rates indicating more impulsivity. Importantly, delay discounting like perfectionism, has been associated with depression and eating disorders, including high levels of BED (Black, Serowik, & Rosen, 2009;Davis, Patte, Curtis, & Reid, 2010;Lempert & Pizzagalli, 2010;Takahashi et al, 2008). For example, Davis et al (2010) found that women with BED and individuals who were obese discounted at high rates on discounting measures, indicating that the ability to delay gratification may influence eating behaviors.…”

“…Some have argued, however, that this association reflects impulsive personality traits that lead someone to take risks rather than an intoxication syndrome per se (Hayaki et al 2006;Winters et al 2009). Indeed, impulsivity is common to those with psychiatric disorders and has been associated with sexual risk behavior (Black et al 2009). Consequently, substance use and impulsivity should be examined as possible risk factors for unprotected sex.…”

There is evidence of high rates of unprotected sex among young people with first episode psychosis compared to their peers. Little research has explored factors associated with condom use in this population. The current study examined the association between previously identified psychosocial risk factors and condom use in young people with early psychosis and their peers. Sixty-seven sexually active young people with first episode psychosis and 48 sexually active control participants matched on a number of sociodemographic factors completed a self-report survey. Increased probability of inconsistent condom use was associated with clinical status, younger age, unemployment, and the absence of peer support for condom use. Psychological distress, self-esteem, social support, substance use, and impulsivity were not associated with condom use. The results suggest that sexual risk-reduction interventions for young people with psychosis should target peer norms, particularly among those who are younger and unemployed.
