Homelessness - primarily couch-surfing - is a common experience for SMA in this sample. All forms of homelessness - including exclusive couch-surfing - were associated with large increases in depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempt, emphasizing the importance of services that are available to couch-surfing young people and responsive to the needs of sexual minority adolescents.
