The primary goal of the research project was to ascertain patterns, trends, and pathways related to episodes of homelessness among Caribbean youth. The data component of the study used in-depth qualitative interviews with homeless Caribbean youth 15-25 to develop a greater understanding of the sociodemographic characteristics of ‘street-involved’ Caribbean youth, the ways in which they found themselves homeless, their support systems, interactions with police, vulnerabilities, and the impacts these have on their self-image and sense of control over their lives. – Publisher’s description
