Associations Between Individual-Level Characteristics and Exposure to Physically Violent Behaviour Among Young People Experiencing Homelessness: A Meta-Analysis

Risk factor reduction approaches may decrease exposure to violence among young people experiencing homelessness. This study presents a meta-analysis exploring associations between characteristics of young people experiencing homelessness (individual-level factors) and exposure to physically violent behavior, both as perpetrators and as victims. Prevention and intervention approaches seeking to address exposure to violence, both as perpetrators and as victims, can be informed by future research investigating risk factor reduction approaches.
