TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Predictors of workplace violence among female sex workers in Tijuana, Mexico JO - Violence against women A1 - Katsulis, Yasmina A1 - Durfee, Alesha A1 - Lopez, Vera A1 - Robillard, Alyssa SP - 571 EP - 597 VL - 21 IS - 5 N2 - For sex workers, differences in rates of exposure to workplace violence are likely influenced by a variety of risk factors, including where one works and under what circumstances. Economic stressors, such as housing insecurity, may also increase the likelihood of exposure. Bivariate analyses demonstrate statistically significant associations between workplace violence and selected predictor variables, including age, drug use, exchanging sex for goods, soliciting clients outdoors, and experiencing housing insecurity. Multivariate regression analysis shows that after controlling for each of these variables in one model, only soliciting clients outdoors and housing insecurity emerge as statistically significant predictors for workplace violence.
