0118659RebhunThis Americas Program thesis enhancement will support thesis dissertation research by Ms. Yasmina Katsulis under the supervision of Dr. Linda-Anne Rebhun of Yale University. Dr. Gudelia Rangel of El Colegio de la Frontera Norte has agreed to act as field supervisor for the fieldwork in Mexico. The aim of this project is to examine career trajectories among 300 female commercial sex workers (FCSW's) in Tijuana, Mexico, and more specifically, the relationship between migration patterns, work sites and HIV risk. In particular, the project will: (1) examine the relationship between migration and the various career trajectories of 300 FCSW's in Tijuana, Mexico; (2) measure their knowledge, attitudes, and practices for risk management in a variety of work sites; (3) examine how risk management is either complicated or facilitated by structural factors, most importantly female urban migration; (4) generate an epidemiological profile of HIV infection for the population in question.Using integrated qualitative and quantitative methods, this research will help to provide a more comprehensive portrait of those aspects of human experience critical in determining health outcomes. The findings will contribute to the literature on health beliefs in Latin America, the political economy of health, and the use of qualitative methods to address public health issues.

01186559 Rebhun本美洲项目论文增强将支持Yasmina Katsulis女士在耶鲁大学Linda-Anne Rebhun博士的指导下进行论文研究。El Colegio de la Frontera Norte的Gudelia Rangel博士已同意担任墨西哥实地工作的实地主管。该项目的目的是研究墨西哥蒂华纳300名女性商业性工作者（FCSW’s）的职业轨迹，更具体地说，是移民模式、工作地点和艾滋病毒风险之间的关系。具体而言，该项目将：(1)研究墨西哥蒂华纳300名FCSW的移民与各种职业轨迹之间的关系；(2)衡量他们在各种工作场所的风险管理知识、态度和做法；(3)研究结构性因素（最重要的是女性城市移民）如何使风险管理变得复杂或便利；(4)生成有关人群的艾滋病毒感染流行病学概况。利用综合定性和定量方法，这项研究将有助于更全面地描述对确定健康结果至关重要的人类经验的那些方面。研究结果将有助于撰写关于拉丁美洲卫生信念、卫生的政治经济学以及使用定性方法解决公共卫生问题的文献。
