BACKGROUND Teen homelessness confers risk for victimization experiences, and teens that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) are at an even greater risk of experiencing victimization and homelessness. METHODS Using the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System, we evaluated the association of experiencing homelessness with physical and sexual victimization and we examined whether LGBT identification moderated this relationship. We also evaluated if the odds of experiencing sexual and physical victimization differed depending on the reported sleeping location. RESULTS Students who reported homelessness had increased odds of having experienced physical and sexual victimization. LGBT identity was related to increased risk for physical and sexual victimization; however, LGBT identity did not moderate the relationship between homelessness and victimization. Considering nighttime sleeping arrangement, students who reported having no usual place to stay had the highest odds of experiencing sexual or physical victimization, followed by car, park, campground, hotels/motels, emergency housing, and doubled-up with family or friends. Notably, all homeless sleeping locations were associated with increased odds of experiencing victimization relative to sleeping at a parent or guardian's home. CONCLUSIONS Our findings confirm links between teen homelessness and sexual and physical victimization, as well as increased risk for victimization experienced by LGBT youth. Special considerations should be made when developing and implementing interventions for teens experiencing homelessness and teens who identify as LGBT.

青少年无家可归：根据 LGBT 身份和睡眠位置评估受害风险。

背景 青少年无家可归会带来受害经历的风险，而被认定为女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋或变性者 (LGBT) 的青少年遭受受害和无家可归的风险更大。方法 使用 2019 年青年风险行为监测系统，我们评估了无家可归与身体和性受害之间的关联，并检查了 LGBT 身份认同是否调节了这种关系。我们还评估了遭受性和身体伤害的几率是否因报告的睡眠位置而异。结果报告无家可归的学生遭受身体和性伤害的几率增加。LGBT 身份与身体和性受害风险增加有关；然而，LGBT 身份并没有缓和无家可归和受害之间的关系。考虑到夜间睡眠安排，报告没有常住地点的学生遭受性或身体伤害的几率最高，其次是汽车、公园、露营地、酒店/汽车旅馆、紧急住房，以及与家人或朋友合住。值得注意的是，与在父母或监护人家中睡觉相比，所有无家可归者睡觉的地方都与受害几率增加有关。结论 我们的研究结果证实了青少年无家可归与性和身体受害之间的联系，以及 LGBT 青年受害风险增加。在为无家可归的青少年和被认定为 LGBT 的青少年制定和实施干预措施时，应特别考虑。
