“…Cruise areas are locations characterized by high rates of drug use and sex work. For example, homeless youth have been recruited in the Times Square area in New York City (Clatts, Bresnahan, Davis, Springer, & Backes, 1997;Feitel, Margetson, Chamas, & Lipman, 1992), in the Hollywood area in Los Angeles (De Rosa et al, 1999;Ensign, 1998;Kipke, Montgomery, Simon, & Iverson, 1997;Kipke et al, 1995), and in the Tenderloin district in San Francisco (Clements, Gleghorn, Garcia, Katz, & Marx, 1997;Forst, 1994;Gleghorn, Marx, Vittinghoff, & Katz, 1998;Rotheram-Borus, 1991). Of the research on homeless youth that has been conducted in the past 10 years, 65% have sampled youth only within cruise areas (Table 1).…”

A census of homeless youth was conducted in locations across Los Angeles County, California. Building on previous research that has focused on homeless youth in cruise areas, the authors examined demographic and behavioral differences between homeless youth in cruise and noncruise areas. Youth in cruise areas were more likely than youth in noncruise areas to be older, to have been away from home longer, to have recently visited community-based agencies, and were likely to have resided in shelters and less likely to attend school. These data suggest possible selection bias in earlier studies that relied primarily on homeless youth from cruise areas.

Rapid changes in the world market economy have served to destabilize many local institutions, widening the gap between the rich and the poor and undermining viability of key social and economic institutions such as family and household. Among those most deeply affected by this displacement are children and adolescents, many of whom are forced to leave family institutions before they have acquired the skills and maturity needed to become economically self-sufficient. Fending for themselves amid the vagaries of the underworld of virtually every major city in the world, these youths are at exceptional risk for a wide range of poor health outcomes and premature death. While perhaps a familiar sight in many non-Western countries, this phenomenon also has emerged in the industrialized world, a fact that accounts for the rise in exposure to violence and disease among street-involved youth and young adults in nations such as the United States. There are as yet few empirical data available about the nature of these youth populations or the constellation of behaviors that place them at increased risk for disease outcomes. In this report we construct a demographic and behavioral profile of the homeless youth population in New York City, particularly as behavioral patterns relate to risk associated with HIV infection.
