Abstract
Human trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal enterprises worldwide today, greatly affecting the United States. Victims of human trafficking undergo a variety of both physical and psychological forms of abuse, which may result in the need for healthcare treatment. Research has revealed that nearly 90% of victims recovered from “the life” of human trafficking stated they were seen and treated by a healthcare provider, and human trafficking was never recognized. Consideration must also be made for those still involved in “the life” and for cases that remain unreported, meaning the numbers could be much higher as human trafficking is a clandestine crime. With so many individuals reporting never being recognized, it raises the question: How can healthcare providers better identify this population? One possibility that has been provided by the author suggests that this might be addressed through a simulated role-play case scenario and effective education.
