Of 180 respondents, 57 % were male, 80 % non-White, and 21 % identified as a sexual minority.

Many barriers to accessing healthcare have been documented however, the relative impact of discrete barriers on homeless youth healthcare utilization behavior is not firmly established. Homeless and runaway youth are at disproportionate risk for adverse health outcomes.
