The majority of street children/youth in Sihanoukville provided multiple answers to the<br />

question of what problems they faced on the streets. One category - health - particularly<br />

stands out when analysing the questionnaire data. In this years CSCN profile, health<br />

related issues accounted for 58.2 percent. The second most frequent answer was<br />

related to violence at 26.2 percent, closely followed by Bong Thom related problems at<br />

19.7 percent. Analysing this data, there appears to be a correlation between the role of<br />

the Bong Thom and the level of violence experienced. However, unlike the Phnom Penh<br />

analysis, the level of drug related problems often associated with gang activities appear<br />

at a moderate level at only 4.1 percent.<br />

Another interesting result is the number of road accidents involving street children/<br />

youth. Out of the total 13.1 percent have experienced traffic related injuries.<br />
