This paper represents exploratory analysis of the correlates of running away, the number of times a youth runs away, and the age at which a youth first runs away. At this point, we deal with running away as a static outcome, occurring any time before age 18. In the future, we plan to expand to a dynamic model where the decision to run away is made each year and independent variables can take on different values over time.
