Area of Science:
- Child Protection
- Public Health Education
- Criminology
Background:
- Assessing school personnel's knowledge of sex trafficking of minors is crucial.
- Identifying factors influencing this knowledge is essential for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate school personnel's knowledge of sex trafficking of minors.
- To determine factors associated with this knowledge.
- To test the effectiveness of educational videos in enhancing awareness.
Main Methods:
- An online survey collected data from 741 US school personnel.
- McNemar test analyzed pre- and post-video knowledge differences.
- Logistic regression identified predictors of knowledge.
Main Results:
- Years of experience, higher education, and being female predicted greater knowledge.
- Educational videos improved basic knowledge and interest in further learning.
- Awareness of risk factors was high, but definitional knowledge was lower.
Conclusions:
