Prevention and treatment programs for runaways have been hindered by an inadequate population profile. Using Add Health data to determine 12-month prevalence and demographic predictors of running away, we found that over 6% of youths reported running away. Running was predicted by biological gender, age, region, urbanicity, and family structure.
针对离家出走者的预防和治疗项目一直受到人口概况不充分的阻碍。利用“青少年健康纵向研究”(Add Health)的数据来确定离家出走的12个月患病率和人口统计学预测因素,我们发现超过6%的青少年报告有过离家出走行为。离家出走行为可由生理性别、年龄、地区、城市化程度和家庭结构预测。
