Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Clinical Research
  • Social Science

Background:

  • Labor and sex trafficking significantly affect patients in U.S. emergency departments (EDs).
  • There's pressure to screen for trafficking, but unvalidated tools risk patient care and data integrity.
  • Developing valid screening tools for
  • invisible" social issues like trafficking requires substantial investment and expertise.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To derive and validate the Rapid Appraisal for Trafficking (RAFT) tool.
  • To create a reliable screening instrument for labor and sex trafficking in adult ED patients.

Main Methods:

  • A five-ED, randomized, prospective study design.
  • Novel ED patient-participant randomization for data collection.
  • Intensively trained data collectors using qualitative methods to assess for lifetime human trafficking experiences.

Main Results:

  • The study is designed to derive and validate the RAFT screening tool.
  • Data collection procedures ensure reliability and analysis for tool development.

Conclusions:

  • Transparency in study methodology is vital for rigor and integrity.
  • The described methods allow for external validation and reproducibility of findings.
