This report sets out the findings of a research study undertaken by the Mid-Western Health Board investigating the nature and extent of prostitution in the region. The study was brought about due to the growing concerns of the Health Board regarding the health and welfare needs of individuals who may be involved in prostitution in the area. While the focus of the study is on all individuals seen to be involved in prostitution, specific attention is given to juveniles who are affected by or vulnerable to becoming involved in prostitution or situations of exploitative sexual activities.
