Part One: Hidden Victims: A Guide for Healthcare Providers in Identifying Human Trafficking Victims

Evaluation and Credit:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MedChat61

Target Audience            

This activity is targeted toward primary care providers, advanced providers and healthcare clinicians. 

Statement of Need 

According to the American Public Health Association, the health system plays an important role in identifying and treating victims of human trafficking. Estimates show that approximately 80 percent of human trafficking victims are women, and health care providers are often the first professionals to have contact with trafficked women and girls. One study found that close to 50 percent of trafficked individuals saw a health care professional during their exploitation. Clinicians need to be aware of red flags that their patient could be a victim of human trafficking, best practices for screening and assessing patients for trafficking, and their response as a health care professional, and resources for assisting the victims.

Providers should know how to screen patients for human trafficking; and what to do if there are indicators of a potential victim of human trafficking.

Objectives 

At the conclusion of this offering, the participant will be able to: 

• Discuss the scope of human trafficking locally and nationally.
• Identify the red flags of human trafficking and screening questions to ask, so that a potential victim can be identified when they are accessing the healthcare system.
• Review the reporting and documentation guidelines for when a patient is suspected of being a victim of human trafficking.
• Discuss appropriate communication strategies, including trauma-informed communication, to best facilitate trust between provider and patient.
