Abstract

Psychological distress as seen among 171 female sex workers in Australia is discussed in this brief report. In the sample, which included only 8 street sex workers, 28% were above the GHQ-28 threshold for mild psychiatric morbidity. That rate is not appreciably different from that of women in the general community. The street sex workers reported significant distress. Several factors were independent predictors of poor mental health.
