“…School Domain.-Instability experiences in individual and familial circumstances can negatively affect young people's ability to perform in school (Howland et al, 2017). Our findings expand this understanding regarding homeless populations by showing significant differences within dual instabilities, using GPA as an indicator of academic success.…”

“…The diversity and frequency of U.S. youths' experiences of instability in housing and parental care, and its myriad adverse effects, heightens the importance of examining how these particularly impactful forms of instability are experienced as adversities which build up for youth to create cumulative disadvantage. In addition to diminished health and psychosocial functioning, these instabilities present significant risks to the school experience, such as diminished involvement, commitment, and performance (Howland, Chen, Chen, & Min, 2017).…”

This study applies cumulative adversity and stress proliferation theories to examine risk and protective resource profiles of youth with three different levels of housing and parental care instability. Data derive from a state representative sample (n=27,087) of school-based adolescent students. ANCOVA analyses identified significant differences in sociodemographic and psychosocial functioning variables for youth with 0, 1, or 2 forms of housing and parental care instability, with more deleterious functioning being observed among youth with greater levels of instability. Those experiencing either or both housing and parental care instability are more represented by males, sexual minorities, and youth of color; psychosocial risk and protective factors demonstrated consistent differences between instability groups. Dimensions of cumulative adversity operate with social marginalities (e.g., race, sexual minority status) relative to instability, with higher frequency of victimization, lower grades, diminished self-regulation capabilities and school engagement, weakened psychological health, and strained family and peer relationships. The paper discusses theorized mechanisms through which cumulative adversity conveys effects as well as implications for social work prevention and resilience-fostering strategies in schools and other youth-serving settings.

“…High family mobility in poverty is a potential sign of family homelessness. Most researchers agree that the pathway leading highly mobile families to homelessness is not an isolated process but is shaped in multiple contexts (Annor & Oudshoorn, 2019 ; Howland et al, 2017 ; Teo & Chiu, 2016 ). In early studies, homelessness was often attributed to personal deficits, such as older age, gender, race minority, low education level, long-term substance abuse, serious physical or mental health issues, and/or incarceration (Goering et al, 2002 ; Winetrobe et al, 2017 ).…”

Residential mobility and caregiver social support are two key factors influencing adolescents’ and their caregivers’ health status. However, few studies have examined whether these factors vary across developmental periods. The present study therefore adopted a life course perspective to investigate the longitudinal effects of residential mobility and caregiver social support on a range of individual health outcomes (i.e., caregiver depression, adolescent internalizing problems, and adolescent externalizing problems) among families exposed to disadvantaged social and economic conditions. Data were obtained from the Longitudinal Studies in Child Abuse and Neglect, and 425 children and their caregivers who completed the age 12, 14, 16, and 18 interviews were included in this study. Structural equation modeling was conducted to test the measurement and structural models. The results showed that greater residential mobility was significantly associated with higher levels of caregiver depression, which in turn led to more adolescent internalizing and externalizing problems. Alternatively, higher levels of caregiver social support mitigated the levels of caregiver depression, which in turn resulted in fewer adolescent internalizing and externalizing problems. Highly mobile children and their caregivers were found to be vulnerable to several negative health outcomes and in high need of mental and behavioral health support and services. These findings inform important policy and practice implications on social support for mobile caregivers to address their children’s behavioral problems.

“…Menurut Undang-undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2014 Anak Terlantar adalah anak yang tidak terpenuhinya kebutuhannya secara wajar, baik fisik, mental dan spiritual maupun sosial. Anak telantar atau tunawisma merupakan individu yang tidak mempunyai tempat tinggal yang tetap, teratur, dan memadai (Departemen Of Education, 2017;Howland et al, 2017;Nott & Vuchinich, 2016;Rybski et al, 2018). Sedangkan menurut Swick et al, (2014), anak terlantar adalah ketidakmampuan orangtua dari segi ekonomi, social, emosional, dan pendidikan.…”
