2S/LGBTQ+ youth substance use and pathways to homelessness: A photovoice study
These narratives can usefully be anticipated and recognized to better understand and address the social contexts in which 2S/LGBTQ+ youth experience substance use and associated harms, especially homelessness. They affirm the need for tailored supports for 2S/LGBTQ+ youth who use drugs in the lead-up to and after becoming homeless, including the provision of care that better recognizes youths' pursuits of becoming and belonging in the context of marginalization, and that takes a harm reduction approach to addressing the role of substance use in these pursuits.
