Forty percent of the sample reported trading sex for money, food, drugs, or other resources in the prior 90 days. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed significant associations among age, ethnic minority status, marital status, prior mental health hospitalization, binge drinking, and having recently been in jail/prison and sex trading ( p < .05). Women who reported that both they and their partner recently (past 90 days) used crack/cocaine or that their partner recently used crack/cocaine were more likely to report sex trading than women who reported that neither they nor their partner recently used crack/cocaine ( p < .05). Study findings underscore an urgent need for multipronged intervention efforts that simultaneously address multilevel risk exposures. sex trading sex work community supervision criminal justice National Institute on Drug Abuse https://doi.org/10.13039/100000026 R01DA025878 edited-state corrected-proof typesetter ts1 Authors’ Note: This work was supported by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) under grant R01DA025878, awarded to Dr. El-Bassel.
