Young women engaged in exotic dancing have a higher need for reproductive health services than women not in this profession, and many also use drugs or exchange sex for money or drugs. Few report receiving reproductive health services. We describe a public health, academic, and community partnership that provided reproductive health services on needle exchange mobile vans in the "red light district" in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. Women made 220 visits to the vans in the first 21 months of the program's operation, and 65% of these visits involved provision of contraception. Programmatic costs were feasible. Joint provision of needle exchange and reproductive health services targeting exotic dancers has the potential to reduce unintended pregnancies and link pregnant, substance-abusing women to reproductive care, and such programs should be implemented more widely.
从事脱衣舞表演的年轻女性比其他女性对生殖健康服务的需求更高，许多人还会吸毒或卖淫嫖娼。但很少有人报告说接受过生殖健康服务。我们描述了一个公共卫生、学术和社区伙伴关系，该关系在马里兰州巴尔的摩市中心的“红灯区”的针具交换流动车上提供生殖健康服务。在该项目运作的头 21 个月里，女性在流动车上进行了 220 次访问，其中 65%的访问涉及提供避孕措施。项目成本是可行的。针对脱衣舞娘联合提供针具交换和生殖健康服务有可能减少意外怀孕，并将怀孕的、滥用药物的女性与生殖护理联系起来，因此应该更广泛地实施此类项目。
