Abstract

In the United States, young females are at greatest risk for sex trafficking and often seek health services for unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and traumatic injuries. Unfortunately, health care providers often fail to identify human trafficking victims. This project implemented a screening protocol including a flowchart and standardized human trafficking screening tool, provided human trafficking education, and distributed human trafficking resources for women at a crisis pregnancy center. Fourteen women were identified by the screening protocol and classified as experiencing prior abusive relationships, possessing trafficking risk factors, or experiencing human trafficking. To identify trafficking, health care providers need structured protocols.
