Based on the literature, we identified manager and establishment characteristics that we hypothesized are related to workplace policies that support HIV protective behavior. We developed a sexual health policy index consisting of 11 items as our outcome variable. We utilized both bivariate and multivariate analysis of variance. The significant variables in our bivariate analyses (establishment type, number of employees, manager age, and membership in manager association) were entered into a multivariate regression model. The model was significant (p<.01), and predicted 42) of the variability in the development and management of a workplace sexual health policy supportive of condom use. The significant predictors were number of employees and establishment type. In addition to individually-focused CSW interventions, HIV prevention programs should target managers and establishment policies. Future HIV prevention programs may need to focus on helping smaller establishments, in particular those with less employees, to build capacity and develop sexual health policy guidelines.
基于文献,我们确定了一些管理者和机构特征,我们假设这些特征与支持艾滋病毒防护行为的工作场所政策有关。我们制定了一个由11项内容组成的性健康政策指数作为我们的结果变量。我们使用了双变量和多变量方差分析。我们双变量分析中的显著变量(机构类型、员工数量、管理者年龄以及管理者协会成员身份)被纳入一个多变量回归模型。该模型具有显著性(p<.01),并预测了支持使用避孕套的工作场所性健康政策制定和管理中42%的变异性。显著的预测因素是员工数量和机构类型。除了针对个体的性工作者干预措施外,艾滋病毒预防项目还应针对管理者和机构政策。未来的艾滋病毒预防项目可能需要专注于帮助较小的机构,特别是那些员工较少的机构,以建设能力并制定性健康政策指南。
