Engaging in survival sex and mental illness are overrepresented within homeless populations. This article assesses the relationship between symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and engaging in survival sex among homeless women. One hundred and fifty-eight homeless women completed surveys on self-reported BPD symptomology and sexual history. Bivariate and multivariate analyses conducted in this study provided insights into the association of experiencing BPD symptoms and engaging in survival sex. Results indicate that some symptoms of BPD are robustly correlated with engaging in survival sex among homeless adult women. Implications for service agencies and others working with at-risk female populations are discussed.
在无家可归人群中，从事生存性性行为和患有精神疾病的情况较为普遍。本文评估边缘型人格障碍（BPD）症状与无家可归女性从事生存性性行为之间的关系。158名无家可归女性完成了关于自我报告的BPD症状学和性史的调查。本研究进行的双变量和多变量分析深入探讨了BPD症状与从事生存性性行为之间的关联。结果表明，BPD的一些症状与成年无家可归女性从事生存性性行为密切相关。文中还讨论了对服务机构及其他与高危女性群体打交道的机构的启示。
