“…No research specifically compared levels of cognitive impairment in homeless young people to housed young people (aged 15–24); however, research with younger samples suggests higher cognitive impairment among homeless children and adolescents, with the findings regarding specific impairments being mixed (Rafferty, Shinn, & Weitzman, 2004; San Agustin et al, 1999). Cognitive impairment in homeless young people may be due to multiple factors, including psychiatric disorders (Castaneda, Tuulio‐Henriksson, Marttunen, Suvisaari, & Lönnqvist, 2008; Malhi et al, 2007; Reichenberg et al, 2009), substance use (Jacobus et al, 2015; Oliveira et al, 2016; Potvin, Stavro, Rizkallah, & Pelletier, 2014), brain injury (Silver & Felix, 1999), developmental disabilities (Backer & Howard, 2007) and lower socioeconomic status (Fry, Langley, & Shelton, 2017).…”
