Fact sheets: Addressing determinants of sexually transmitted and
blood-borne infections among street-involved youth
Public Health Agency of Canada
These five fact sheets are based on an analysis of current literature and
findings from Enhanced Street Youth Surveillance (E-SYS) Cycle 6. The fact
sheets in the series include: mental health and mental illness; unstable
housing and homelessness; education and employment; experiences with the
criminal justice system; and access to health services. The goal of the
fact sheets is to provide considerations for community organizations,
public health professionals and federal, provincial and territorial
governments on ways to address determinants of vulnerability to, and
resilience against, STBBIs among street-involved youth in Canada. They
discuss the links between determinants of health and STBBI vulnerability,
what can be done to address determinants of STBBI vulnerability and
promising practices in addressing determinants of STBBI vulnerability and
building resilience among street-involved youth.
