Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals gaps in COVID-19 preventive practices among sex workers in Chiang Mai, suggesting targeted interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • COVID-19 preventive practices among sex workers remain inadequate despite good knowledge, emphasizing the importance of tailored approaches.
  • In a cross-sectional study of 264 individuals, sex workers in Chiang Mai showed variability in COVID-19 understanding and practices.
  • Factors such as gender, age, and work environment were linked to differences in preventive behaviors within the population.
  • Linear regression analysis identified males and singles as independent predictors of lower preventive practices scores.
