How many times will the messages of Prevention Justice be confirmed by science?

A new study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health shows that youth who are unstably housed are more likely to engage in risky sexual behavior within the first six months of being homeless. Science Daily reported that "this is the first time that researchers have followed newly homeless youth -- those who have been away from home for a period between one day and six months -- for any length of time to track how their behavior changes. The researchers examined how individual factors, such as sociodemographics, depression and substance abuse, and structural factors, such as living situations, can influence sexual behavior."

What's also interesting is what the study's author, Dr. M. Rosa Solorio, assistant professor of family medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA says about the study:"The reason these findings are so important is that interventions in the past have focused on addressing individual risk behavior and not on addressing structural factors, such as living situations, that might have an impact on their behavior...When we look at homeless youth, we want to consider these structural factors if we want them to reduce their risky behavior and thereby prevent sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV."
