During 1988 self-report data were elicited from a study of 102 male and 103 female sex workers (prostitutes) in Edinburgh (Scottland, UK). Respondents were contacted by ''snowballing'' mostly in licensed premises. This was reflected by high levels of self-reported alcohol and illicit drug use. Respondents reported that both alcohol and illicit drug use were commonplace in relation to their work and that many of their clients were under alcohol or drug effect at the time of contact. Condom use was unrelated to sex workers'' alcohol or drug use, but was significantly associated with sex workers'' assessments of the proportions of their clients also under the influence of illicit drugs.
