Poverty and Youth

The Prevention Researcher,
Volume 18, Number 4, 2011

In the United States, 17% of adolescents live in poor families. When we consider those youth in near poor families the number doubles to 38%. With nearly four out of every ten youth living near poverty, and considering that many of the topics we’ve discussed in past issues of The Prevention Researcher are related to poverty, then addressing the needs of these youth seems imperative.
