Overview of Recognition and Prevention of Child Sex Trafficking in the Primary Care Setting: A Primer for Nurse Practitioners

Background: Human trafficking (HT) is a serious public health issue. Survivors of HT seek medical care. Health care professionals may be inadequately trained to identify and support survivors. This study evaluated improvements in nurses' knowledge after a professional development workshop on HT. Method: Pre- and postevaluation surveys assessed nurses' self-reported changes in perceived knowledge of HT and its vulnerability factors, the health impact of HT, strategies for identification and assessment of HT, and response to and follow-up of HT. Results: After the workshop, participants showed significant improvement in perceived knowledge of all measures, regardless of hours of previous training and years of practice. Conclusion: Perceived knowledge of HT identification and response can be improved through training of nurses, regardless of hours of previous training and years of practice.
