“…Five articles included other populations of interest (e.g., students, young women). Three articles combined other populations with formerly trafficked people (Antonopoulou, 2006; Deb, Mukherjee, & Mathews, 2011; Gray, Luna, & Seegobin, 2012). Notably, one article included both formerly trafficked people and traffickers (Adejumo, 2008).…”

Trafficking in persons (TIP) is a human rights violation with serious public health consequences. Unfortunately, assessing TIP and its health sequelae rigorously and reliably is challenging due to TIP's clandestine nature, variation in definitions of TIP, and the need to use research methods that ensure studies are ethical and feasible. To help guide practice, policy, and research to assess TIP and health, we undertook a systematic literature review of 70 peer-reviewed, published articles to (a) identify TIP and health research methods being used, (b) determine what we can learn about TIP and health from these varied methodologies, and (c) determine the gaps that exist in health-focused TIP research. Results revealed that there are various quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods being used to investigate TIP and health. Furthermore, findings show that the limitations of current methodologies affect what is known about TIP and health. In particular, varying definitions, participant recruitment strategies, ethical standards, and outcome measures all affect what is known about TIP and health. Moreover, findings demonstrate an urgent need for representative and nonpurposive recruitment strategies in future investigations of TIP and health as well as research on risk and protective factors related to TIP and health, intervention effectiveness, long-term health outcomes, and research on trafficked people beyond women trafficked for sex. We offer recommendations for research, policy, and practice based on review results.

“…20 The BSI provides 3 populations against which to standardize: psychiatric outpatients, psychiatric inpatients, and nonpatients. We selected the psychiatric outpatient population as the referent group because (1) the psychological symptoms reported among trafficked women have been found to be present at levels well above those found among a ''general'' population, 27 and (2) participants in the current study had received or were receiving various physical or psychological health interventions from the assistance centers, suggesting a similarity to a ''patient'' population. We used a raw score cutpoint of 1.87 or higher to define high levels of depression symptoms, and we used a raw score cutpoint of 1.71 or higher to define high levels of anxiety symptoms.…”
