The Runaway Youth Longitudinal Study

http://www.impactprogram.org/researchers/the-runaway-youth-longitudinal-study/

The National Runaway Switchboard (NRS) recently released a longitudinal study characterizing runaway youth and describing the long-term effects of running away. One aim of the study was to identify differences between runaways and non-runaways in terms of demographics and risk factors that might lead to running away.  The second aim was to understand the relationship between running away as an adolescent and the health, education, and economic outcomes in adulthood.  The data set spans 15 years with the most recent sample’s age range between 24-32 years.
