To compile a global typography of commercial sex work.
A Medline search and review of 681 "prostitution" articles was conducted. In addition, the investigators pooled their 20 years of collected papers and monographs, and their observations in more than 15 countries. Arbitrary categories were developed to compile a workable typology of sex work.
At least 25 types of sex work were identified according to worksite, principal mode of soliciting clients, or sexual practices. These types of work are often grouped under the headings of "direct" and "indirect" prostitution, with the latter group less likely to be perceived or to perceive themselves as sex workers. In general, policing sex work can change its typology and location but its prevalence is rarely affected. The public health implications of sex work vary widely.
Developing comprehensive sexual health promotion programmes requires a complete understanding of the types of sex work in a particular area. This study provides a checklist for developing appropriate and targeted programmes.
编制商业性性工作的全球类型学。
对681篇“卖淫”相关文章进行了医学文献数据库检索及综述。此外，研究人员汇集了他们20年来收集的论文和专著，以及他们在15多个国家的观察结果。制定了任意类别，以编制可行的性工作类型学。
根据工作场所、招揽客户的主要方式或性行为，至少确定了25种性工作类型。这些工作类型通常归为“直接”和“间接”卖淫两类，后者被视为性工作者或自认为是性工作者的可能性较小。一般来说，对性工作进行监管可以改变其类型和地点，但很少影响其流行程度。性工作对公共卫生的影响差异很大。
制定全面的性健康促进计划需要全面了解特定地区的性工作类型。本研究为制定适当且有针对性的计划提供了一份清单。
