This work investigates the associations between experiences of domestic minor sex trafficking and adolescent interpersonal violence victimizations, including intimate partner violence (IPV) and community violence. Abuse and violence in childhood are commonly proposed as risk factors for domestic minor sex trafficking. However, less is known about how interpersonal violence victimizations in adolescence connect to domestic minor sex trafficking experiences. The poly-victimization framework provides a means to understand domestic minor sex trafficking as a type of violence amid a web of additional interconnected violence victimizations. Efforts to better understand the interpersonal violence experienced by survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking are valuable in contextualizing trafficking experiences for adolescents. Data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, a population-based sample of adolescents in the United States (n = 12,605) were used to examine experiences of domestic minor sex trafficking for minor respondents, as measured through questions about exchanging sex for money or drugs. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to estimate the associations between domestic minor sex trafficking and IPV or community violence, while controlling for demographic variables and adolescent risk behaviors. Minors who experience community violence had significantly greater odds of having exchanged sex (aOR: 1.86; 95% CI: 1.32 -2.64). However, IPV was not significantly associated with minors’ experiences of sex exchange (aOR: 1.14; 95% CI: 0.85 -1.54). Alcohol or drug use (aOR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.32 -2.65) and having run away (aOR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.53 -2.72) were also significantly associated with minor sex exchange. As experiences of domestic minor sex trafficking were significantly associated with community violence victimizations, prevention and intervention efforts targeting youth at high risk for or survivors of domestic minor sex trafficking should consider how community violence victimizations impact these adolescent populations, and programming/messaging should be adjusted to account for these additional violence victimizations.

这项工作调查了家庭未成年人性交易经历与青少年人际暴力受害之间的关联，包括亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 和社区暴力。童年时期的虐待和暴力通常被认为是家庭未成年人性交易的风险因素。然而，关于青春期人际暴力受害与家庭未成年人性贩运经历之间的联系知之甚少。多重受害框架提供了一种方法，可以在其他相互关联的暴力受害网络中将家庭未成年人性贩运理解为一种暴力。努力更好地了解家庭未成年人性贩运幸存者所经历的人际暴力对于将青少年贩运经历置于背景中是有价值的。n= 12,605) 被用来检查未成年人受访者的国内未成年人性交易经历，通过关于用性换取金钱或毒品的问题来衡量。多变量逻辑回归模型用于估计家庭未成年人性贩运与 IPV 或社区暴力之间的关联，同时控制人口变量和青少年风险行为。经历过社区暴力的未成年人发生性行为的几率明显更高（aOR：1.86；95% CI：1.32 -2.64）。然而，IPV 与未成年人的性交换经历没有显着相关性（aOR：1.14；95% CI：0.85 -1.54）。酒精或药物使用 (aOR: 1.87; 95% CI: 1.32 -2.65) 和逃跑 (aOR: 2.04; 95% CI: 1.53 -2.72) 也与轻微的性交换显着相关。
