Partnership For Strong Communities

Hartford, CT

Connecticut Runaway and Homeless Youth Project

2012 - 2015

To support a research team from the Consultation Center at Yale University to interview and identify the needs of unaccompanied, homeless youth in Connecticut to better document their numbers and make policy recommendations for improved health, mental health and other services. Homeless youth are at high risk of dangerous behaviors, academic failure, mental health issues and justice involvement. The team will use a mixed methods approach, including qualitative data obtained from interviews with community and state informants, and focus groups conducted with unaccompanied children and youth. The study participants will be recruited through a snowball sampling method, with a focus on populations in Bridgeport, New Haven, and Hartford.
