Housing Distress among High School Students.
Vissing, Yvonne M.; Diament, Joseph
Social Work, v42 n1 p31-41 Jan 1997
Argues that the term "homelessness" does not adequately explain housing problems experienced by high school-aged youths. Surveyed 3,676 high school teens to determine their level of "housing distress." Between 5 and 10% had been homeless sometime during the past year, and almost 20% were at risk of becoming homeless.
