Overview

Quantitative analysis reveals high psychological distress among sex workers, indicating urgent need for support.

Key Points

  • Logistic regression identified several risk factors influencing mental health, including structural stress and stigma.
  • Descriptive analyses and logistic regression were performed using data from 403 female sex workers and 157 social workers.
  • Findings suggest significant policy changes are required to improve healthcare and social conditions for sex workers.
