Abstract

Homeless youth are at increased risk of substance use and its consequences worldwide. Substance use among youth who are homeless has not been as well studied, particularly in developing country settings. We therefore aimed to assess the prevalence and correlates of substance use among homeless youth in Kerman, a city in southeast Iran.
