Abstract

PROBLEM

Significant life events in runaway youth include the experience of abuse, school/legal entanglements, and sexual behavior.

SUBJECTS

78 nonurban, runaway youths.

METHODS

The Structural Clinical Interview Instrument and the Coddington Life Events Scale were used for data collection.

FINDINGS

The majority of respondents reported life situations replete with experiences of abuse, school/legal entanglements, high-risk sexual behavior, and significant life events. Significant gender differences were reported regarding sexual activity (p = .002). Significant positive associations exist between the use of birth control and sexual activity (p = .002), and between school suspensions and sexual activity (p = .01). A significant relationship exists between the use of birth control and the occurrence of abuse (p = .01).

CONCLUSIONS

Much research is needed to develop programs with a focus on prevention.
