性工作者的风险经历（例如身体暴力或强奸）是由种族、性别和背景决定的。对于网络性工作者来说，经历的风险相对较小；目前尚不清楚的是网络性工作者如何管理风险以及在线广告是否在风险管理中发挥作用。基于交叉理论和探索性工作风险管理的研究，我们对 Backpage.com (http://www.backpage.com) 的 600 个伴游广告进行了内容分析，以探索基于网络的性工作的风险管理。为了指导我们的研究，我们提出了这样的问题：广告是否包含风险管理信息？风险管理信息的使用是否因性工作者种族或性别而异？哪些群体对风险管理信息的总体使用率最高？通过多变量协方差分析 (MANCOVA)，我们发现广告包含风险管理信息，并且这些短语的使用因种族和性别而异。黑人、女性和跨性别女性推动了风险管理信息的使用。黑人和白人跨性别女性对这些短语的总体使用率最高。我们的结论是，风险管理是一种交叉实践，风险管理信息的使用是所有性交易场所中更广泛风险管理优先事项的特定场所表现。
Sex worker experience of risk (e.g., physical violence or rape) is shaped by race, gender, and context. For web-based sex workers, experience of risk is comparatively minimal; what is unclear is how web-based sex workers manage risk and if online advertising plays a role in risk management. Building on intersectionality theory and research exploring risk management in sex work, we content-analyzed 600 escort advertisements from Backpage.com (http://www.backpage.com) to explore risk management in web-based sex work. To guide our research we asked: Do advertisements contain risk management messages? Does the use of risk management messaging differ by sex worker race or gender? Which groups have the highest overall use of risk management messages? Through a multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA) we found that advertisements contained risk management messages and that uses of these phrases varied by race and gender. Blacks, women, and transgender women drove the use of risk management messages. Black and White transgender women had the highest overall use of these phrases. We conclude that risk management is an intersectional practice and that the use of risk management messages is a venue-specific manifestation of broader risk management priorities found in all venues where sex is sold.
