尽管许多无家可归的青年报告性交易，很少有研究探讨与性交易相关的风险因素，甚至更少采用多变量分析来研究这种关系，即使性交易与许多负面的健康结果有关。基于美国中西部151名无家可归的年轻人的样本，逻辑回归分析显示，年龄每增加一岁，年轻人进行性交易的可能性就增加37%（AOR = 1.37; 95%CI = 0.99 -1.90）。与非白色青年相比，白色青年发生性交易的可能性低84%（AOR = 0.16; 95%CI = 0.03 - 0.77）。此外，有全职工作的年轻人进行性交易的可能性降低了80%（AOR = 0.20; 95% CI = 0.05 - 0.85）。抑郁症状每增加一个单位，性交易的可能性就增加11%（AOR = 1.11; 95%CI = 0.99 -1.24）。此外，那些有性交易朋友的人与那些没有性交易朋友的人相比，自己进行性交易的可能性大约高出五倍（AOR = 5.17; 95% CI = 0.95 -28.12）。最后，被提议进行性交易的年轻人与没有被提议的年轻人相比，这样做的可能性几乎高出5.5倍（AOR = 5.45; 95%CI = 1.02-29.17）。总体而言，这些结果对这一高危人群的健康和福祉具有重要意义。
Although numerous homeless youth report trading sex, few studies have examined risk factors associated with trading sex and even fewer have employed multivariate analyses to examine this relationship, even though trading sex is associated with many negative health outcomes. Based on a sample of 151 homeless young adults in the midwestern United States, logistic regression analyses revealed that for each additional year of age, youth were 37% more likely to have traded sex (AOR = 1.37; 95% CI = .99–1.90). White youth were 84% less likely to have traded sex than non-white youth (AOR = .16; 95% CI = .03–.77). Furthermore, youth who had been employed full time were 80% less likely to have traded sex (AOR = .20; 95% CI = .05–.85). For every one unit increase in depressive symptoms, there was an 11% increase in the likelihood of ever having traded sex (AOR = 1.11; 95% CI = .99–1.24). Additionally, those who had friends who traded sex were approximately five times more likely to have ever traded sex themselves compared to those with no friends who had traded sex (AOR = 5.17; 95% CI = .95–28.12). Finally, youth who were propositioned to trade sex were almost five and one-half times more likely to have ever done so compared to youth who had not been propositioned (AOR = 5.45; 95% CI = 1.02–29.17). Overall, the results have important implications for the health and well-being of this high-risk population.
