title: Sexual health practices of homeless youth: a model for intervention.
abstract: This article presents a conceptual model of sexual health practices and outcomes among homeless adolescents. The model provides a framework for understanding what is known about homeless youth and how community-based interventions might be developed and tested to curb the rising number of sexually transmitted diseases among this vulnerable population. Research measures are presented and discussed to promote further development and testing of the model for interventions.
