Overview: In Plain Sight: Human Trafficking for Healthcare Providers

Due to the number of health problems that are associated with human trafficking, healthcare providers are key stakeholders in identifying victims and providing them with on-going trauma informed care (Judge, et al, 2018). 

Up to 88% of trafficking victims seek healthcare during the time they are trafficked (Polis, 2019).

Healthcare providers are failing to recognize victims of human trafficking, thus missing an opportunity to care for these patients. They see us, but we are not seeing them.

 

Objectives: After participating in this activity, the learner should be able to:

  • Describe the types of human trafficking and potential risk factors
  • Review statistics and laws related to human trafficking
  • Recognize individual and environmental indicators of trafficking
  • Describe how to screen individuals using a trauma informed approach
  • Describe how to care for victims using multidisciplinary approach and community resources

Commercial Support:  No commercial support was received for this activity.

Target Audience: Physicians, Nurses, Pharmacists, Pharmacy Technicians, Psychologists, Social Workers and Health Education Specialists, and other healthcare providers who may encounter human trafficking patients.
