Homeless, runaway, and transgender youth are at high risk for commercial sexual exploitation in the United States. Research examining this phenomenon is growing but requires synthesis to facilitate its use by professionals who serve this population. The purpose of this review was to aggregate the qualitative evidence regarding commercially sexually exploited youth (CSEY) in the United States.
The search included published and unpublished qualitative studies with current or former CSEY who reside in the United States.
There were 19 studies included in the review with a total of 795 participants. Eight themes were identified and grouped into three broader categories: experiences that preceded sex work entry, experiences that facilitated sex work continuation, and experiences that facilitated sex work exit.
Understanding the barriers and facilitators of commercial sexual exploitation can inform the development of interventions that address the needs of CSEY and youth at risk for exploitation. The results of this review highlight the social and economic influences as well as the role of positive and negative reinforcements involved in sex work entry, its continuation, and exit. Needs for services, research, and advocacy are also discussed.
在美国，无家可归、离家出走以及跨性别青年面临着遭受商业性剥削的高风险。针对这一现象的研究日益增多，但需要进行综合整理，以便为服务这一群体的专业人员所用。本综述的目的是汇总有关美国商业性剥削青年（CSEY）的定性证据。
检索范围包括针对居住在美国的现任或前任CSEY开展的已发表和未发表的定性研究。
本综述纳入了19项研究，共有795名参与者。确定了八个主题，并归纳为三大类：从事性工作之前的经历、促使性工作持续的经历以及促使性工作结束的经历。
了解商业性剥削的障碍和促进因素可为制定满足CSEY及面临剥削风险青年需求的干预措施提供参考。本综述结果突出了社会和经济影响以及正负强化因素在性工作进入、持续和结束过程中所起的作用。还讨论了服务、研究和宣传方面的需求。
