Summary
Healthcare providers encounter many victims of human trafficking (HT) but struggle with identification. Utilizing the National Human Trafficking Resource Center
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Medical Ethics
- Sociology
Background:
- An estimated 18,000 individuals are trafficked into the U.S. annually for commercial sex work.
- Up to 80% of human trafficking victims interact with healthcare providers, yet remain unidentified.
- Limited healthcare professional knowledge hinders the recognition of trafficking victims in clinical settings.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review current healthcare practices for identifying victims of human trafficking (HT).
- To assess the effectiveness of existing protocols in recognizing and assisting trafficked patients.
Main Methods:
- A literature search was conducted to find scholarly articles on HT identification in healthcare.
- Reviewed articles focused on their significance in victim identification strategies.
- Examined hospital-developed protocols for identifying trafficked individuals.
Main Results:
- Healthcare settings face challenges in identifying victims of human trafficking (HT) due to patients not self-identifying.
- Existing hospital protocols for HT victim identification show significant variation, lacking a national standard.
- A few healthcare professionals possess the expertise to identify trafficking victims.
Conclusions:
- Standardized national protocols are needed for effective identification of human trafficking (HT) victims in healthcare.
- The National Human Trafficking Resource Center's screening method is recommended to improve victim identification rates.
- Improved identification is crucial for connecting trafficked individuals with necessary support services.
