Abstract Unaccompanied minors who reach the age of majority often experience this transition as a complex stage. Insecurity and helplessness may arise and, in some cases, survival without the support of the institutions and services that previously protected them as minors in the host country may mean becoming at risk for social exclusion. The objective of the present study was to characterize unaccompanied minors in Portugal (N = 67) and understand the processes of transition into the age of majority, using a mixed-methods approach. Quantitative (survey) and qualitative (interviews on autobiographical narratives) methodologies were used as a means of acknowledging the voice of minors/young adults in their trajectories and experiences. Two groups were included, with minors (in residential care) and youths who had already reached adulthood (living independently). Results illustrate diverse reasons for arrival in Portugal and distinct strengths and struggles in the integration experiences, with both positive and negative aspects being identified in the transition to autonomy.

Objective: To determine the knowledge, attitude and practices towards COVID 19 among homeless street young adults in Lusaka district, Zambia. Methods: A total of 89 young street adults aged between 16-35 years were sampled. A concurrent mixed methods approach was used, Structured questionnaires and focused group discussion, to achieve the objectives. STATA 13 was used to produce Descriptive statistics while thematic analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data. Results: Majority of the survey participants were male 67(78%), 55(62%) were single while 53(59%) had attained a Primary School Education. The majority of the participants received the COVID 19 information through the radio (61%). Only 44 (49%)% had adequate knowledge on COVID 19 of whom 70 (78.6%) had a positive attitude towards COVID 19. However, the 65(73%) had a low risk perception of contracting the disease. Further, 66 (74.2%) had a positive attitude towards the effectiveness of precautionary behaviors and measures. The finding also revealed that only 3(3.3%) had good practice towards the Covid-19 preventative measures overall with (SD:0). Conclusion: Knowledge and attitudes towards COVID-19 were quite high among homeless street adults. However, their good practices were alarmingly low.
