THIS is a 12-year follow-up pilot study of 14 youths who ran away from home in the mid-1960s. The study is based on 44 intensive interviews with the former runaways, their nonrunaway siblings, their parents, and other relatives. Four major questions were addressed. Marked differences in outcomes were found (a) between runaways and their siblings; (b) between runaway repeaters and nonrepeaters, and (c) between runaways from working-class backgrounds and those from middle-class backgrounds. In general, whatever their other statuses, children who ran away more than once showed increasing personal and social dysfunction as young adults.
