Female street sex workers in the UK are often addicted to heroin, and sex work may be a result of the economic drive to fund this addiction. This study looks at outcomes of a primary care drugs treatment intervention for street sex workers who use heroin, using prescribed maintenance treatment with intensive health and psychosocial support. Thirty-four sex workers entered the study and 100% were retained in the study at 1 year. After 1 year, only 33% of participants were still sex workers. Quality of life had improved significantly and heroin use had reduced.
英国的女性街头性工作者通常对海洛因上瘾,而性工作可能是为了满足毒瘾而产生的经济驱动力。本研究关注的是为使用海洛因的街头性工作者提供初级保健药物治疗干预的结果,该治疗采用规定的维持治疗,并提供强化的健康和心理社会支持。34 名性工作者参与了这项研究,100%的人在 1 年内保留在研究中。1 年后,只有 33%的参与者仍在从事性工作。生活质量显著提高,海洛因使用量减少。
