Abstract

ABSTRACT This study provides information about the prevalence, living conditions, and demographic characteristics of housing instability among students in the state of Delaware. Data were obtained from the Delaware Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) for the 2011–2017 academic years and included 23,819 youth respondents in grades 6–12. Descriptive and logistic regression analyses were conducted to characterize student demographics. Results show that 3.6% (about one out of 30) of Delaware students, grades 6–12, experience housing instability, and this rate was consistent across urban and rural areas. Findings also reveal that males and students of color were more likely to experience housing instability. Results obtained are utilized to understand the prevalence of housing instability and to inform schools, communities, and policy makers of ways to support and strengthen services and programming for students’ academic needs and well-being.

利用青少年风险行为调查数据分析特拉华州公立学校学生住房不稳定性

摘要本研究提供了有关特拉华州学生住房不稳定的流行率、生活条件和人口统计特征的信息。数据来自特拉华州2011-2017学年的青少年风险行为调查，包括23819名6-12年级的青少年受访者。进行描述性和逻辑回归分析来表征学生的人口统计特征。结果显示，在特拉华州6-12年级的学生中，3.6%（约占30人中的一人）的住房不稳定，这一比例在城市和农村地区是一致的。调查结果还显示，男性和有色人种学生更有可能经历住房不稳定。所获得的结果用于了解住房不稳定的普遍性，并向学校、社区和政策制定者提供支持和加强服务和方案的方法，以满足学生的学术需求和福祉。
