Involuntary sex experienced by homeless young people: a public health problem.
The incidence of involuntary sex among homeless young people is considerably higher than in the general population. The most common reason for unwanted sex is being drunk or high at the time. There is a need for programs that provide homeless young people with knowledge and decision-making skills to enable them to avoid unwanted sex and thus exposure to adverse sexual health outcomes.
