520 |a"Studies have shown that in Canada, homelessness among youth is associated with poor nutrition, victimization, higher-risk substance use, and limited access to health and social services. This often leads to harmful effects on health, isolation among youth, and higher rates of substance use and mental health problems. Although street-involved youth are at higher risk of substance-related harms, they are under-represented in survey data on substance use. In response, Health Canada developed a targeted survey called the People with Lived and Living Experience Survey (PWLLES) to examine substance use and related harms among street-involved youth, with input from a peer researcher and other stakeholders. This report focuses on quantitative findings from the PWLLES, which collected responses from September 2021 to February 2023 from youth aged 14-24 years who were 1) experiencing homelessness, unstable housing, spent most of their time in the streets, and/or accessed services for street involved youth and 2) who had used alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, or other drugs in the past year"--Introduction, page 1.
