“…That is, drug use is likely to instigate a positive effect on courage. This effect echoes the contribution of illicit drug use on violence, prostitution, and other delinquent acts (Ellison & Anderson, 2001;Robinson & Paramo, 2007;Sasse, 2005). The effect is also consonant with the positive effect of risk taking on courage (Rate et al, 2007).…”

Youth at risk of illicit drug abuse and other delinquent acts are the target of social work services. Preventing or discouraging the use of illicit drugs among at-risk youth is a long-standing practical and research concern. For this reason, the preventive function of courage is a research gap the present study seeks to fill. The study collected data from 169 at-risk youths and their social workers with two-wave panel surveys. Results show that courage in Wave 1 presented a strong negative effect on illicit drug use in Wave 2 in the youth, controlling for illicit drug use in Wave 1 and background characteristics. Moreover, the negative effect was stronger when Wave 1 drug use was more likely. These results imply the helpfulness of encouraging at-risk youth to gather courage to resist the temptation to use illicit drugs.

“…Five interventions focused on live-in facilities were categorized as "residential programs" (Nijhof et al, 2012;Robinson & Páramo, 2007;Schram & Giovengo, 1991;Thomson, Hirshberg, Corbett, Valila, & Howley, 2011;Twill et al, 2010). The objective of these programs was to offer a range of health, psychosocial, and vocational supports to those at high risk of or victimized by sexual exploitation.…”

“…The objective of these programs was to offer a range of health, psychosocial, and vocational supports to those at high risk of or victimized by sexual exploitation. The programs were located in the United States (Schram & Giovengo, 1991;Thomson et al, 2011;Twill et al, 2010), the Netherlands (Nijhof et al, 2012), and Colombia (Robinson & Páramo, 2007). While one program lasted 90 days (Twill et al, 2010), others ranged from a few days to a few years with most residential stays lasting approximately a year.…”

“…The majority of programs were for girls only, and just one included both male and female participants (Robsinson & Páramo, 2007). One intervention was exclusively for sexually exploited children and adolescents (Twill et al, 2010), while the other four also targeted those at risk of sexual exploitation or young adults (Nijhof et al, 2012;Robinson & Páramo, 2007;Schram & Giovengo, 1991;Thomson et al, 2011). Three programs were specifically designed to transition participants from more to less restrictive environments (Robinson & Páramo, 2007;Schram & Giovengo, 1991;Thomson et al, 2011).…”

“…Individuals were referred to the interventions in a number of ways. Some of the main avenues for referral included child or adolescent involvement with a partnering organization (Countryman-Roswurm & Bolin, 2014; Hickle & Roe-Sepowitz, 2014), outreach by researchers or intervention staff (Haley et al, 1998;Robinson & Páramo, 2007), court-ordered involvement or referrals from police (Nijhof et al, 2012;Thomson et al, 2011;Twill et al, 2010), and self-referral (Gibbs et al, 2015;Pierce, 2012).…”

Sexual exploitation of children and adolescents is a pressing, yet largely under-recognized form of child abuse. The goals of this review were to identify interventions that have been implemented with sexually exploited children and adolescents and to better understand their effectiveness for fostering healing with this population. Our systematic search generated 4,358 publications of which 21 met our inclusion criteria. Based on their objectives and delivery, we organized the interventions into five categories: (a) focused health and/or social services, (b) intensive case management models, (c) psychoeducational therapy groups, (d) residential programs, and (e) other. Most programs were gender-specific, targeting girls and young women with just one being for boys and young men only. Studies reported on a range of outcomes including psychosocial outcomes, risky behaviors, trauma responses, mental health, protective factors, and public health outcomes. Despite differences in delivery, most of the interventions did, to some degree, appear to foster healing among sexually exploited children and adolescents. Findings from this review have implications for researchers, policy and program developers, and frontline practitioners who, through partnerships with one another, can advocate for the creation of evidence-informed, purpose-built, and thoughtfully delivered interventions.

International sex trafficking and domestic prostitution are each forms of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE), and CSE typically encompasses a gauntlet of victimization and violence for its victims. Girls and women subjected to CSE are not only damaged during their involvement in the sex industry, but they typically suffer maltreatment and related factors before they enter into it and again as they endeavor to leave it. In this article we review the common risk factors associated with entry into the sex trade industry, the traumas commonly experienced while in the industry and their psychological sequelae, and the challenges surrounding, and longer-term impact of, endeavoring to exit the industry. We describe the complex conditions present at each of these three stages (pre-entry, post-entry, and peri-/post-exit) and how they result in challenges in treating this population. As rates of commercial sexual exploitation increase both nationally and worldwide, there is an urgent need to identify effective interventions for victims and to address the conditions that foster and support CSE.
