在旧金山弗朗西斯科的130名妓女接受了采访，了解她们生活中的暴力程度和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）的症状。57%的人报告说，他们在儿童时期受到过性侵犯，49%的人报告说，他们在儿童时期受到过人身攻击。作为成年人在卖淫，82%曾受到身体攻击; 83%曾受到武器的威胁; 68%曾被强奸，而作为妓女工作;和84%的报告当前或过去homeless.We区分终身暴力的类型为儿童性侵犯;儿童身体虐待;卖淫强奸;和其他：（非强奸）卖淫身体攻击。创伤后应激障碍的严重程度与一生中暴力类型的总数（r = 0.21，p = 0.02）;与儿童身体虐待（t = 2.97，p= 0.004）;成人卖淫中的强奸（学生t = 2.77，p = 0.01）;以及卖淫中强奸的总次数（Kruskal-Wallace卡方= 13.51，p = 0.01）显著相关。在接受采访的130人中，68%符合DSM III-R诊断PTSD的标准。88%的受访者表示，他们希望脱离卖淫业，并描述了他们需要什么才能逃脱。
One hundred and thirty people working as prostitutes in San Francisco were interviewed regarding the extent of violence in their lives and symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Fifty-seven percent reported that they had been sexually assaulted as children and 49% reported that they had been physically assaulted as children. As adults in prostitution, 82% had been physically assaulted; 83% had been threatened with a weapon; 68% had been raped while working as prostitutes; and 84% reported current or past homelessness.We differentiated the types of lifetime violence as childhood sexual assault; childhood physical abuse; rape in prostitution; and other: (non-rape) physical assault in prostitution. PTSD severity was significantly associated with the total number of types of lifetime violence (r =.21, p =.02); with childhood physical abuse (t = 2.97, p=.004); rape in adult prostitution (Student's t = 2.77, p =.01); and the total number of times raped in prostitution (Kruskal-Wallace chi square = 13.51, p =.01). Of the 130 people interviewed, 68% met DSM III-R criteria for a diagnosis of PTSD. Eighty-eight percent of these respondents stated that they wanted to leave prostitution, and described what they needed in order to escape.
