Title: Why They Run: An In-Depth Look at America's Runaway Youth
Summary: This report examines the runaway problem in America and begins to fill in the gaps of what is already known and what can be done on new research. The report does the following: (1) considers existing data about the issue through a decade's worth of expert studies; (2) weighs the trend data compiled by the National Runaway Switchboard, which handles more than 100,000 calls annually - an average of 273 calls per day with runaway and at-risk youth, family members and other individuals with questions or concerns about a youth; and (3) examines the one-on-one interviews from America's youth, who are residing in shelters or living on the street, about the real and perceived issues when it comes to reaching out for help.
Details: Chicago: National Runaway Switchboard, 2010. 19p.
