Access to Safety: Health Outcomes, Substance Use and Abuse, and Service Provision for LGBTQ Youth, YMSM AND YWSW Who Engage in Survival Sex
"This report focuses on LGBTQ youth who become involved in the commercial
sex market to meet basic survival needs, describing their physical,
mental, and sexual health issues, their substance use, and their
experiences with service providers. It finds that most youth protect
themselves from harm in several ways, including using protection against
sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy and visiting service
providers for health and nonhealth services. However, most of the youth
reported needs that were unmet by service providers, including
employment assistance and short- and long-term housing, and youth who
reached ages 18 or 21 had even greater challenges accessing services."
