TRAFFICKING
Screening for human trafficking among homeless young adults
The aim of this study was to develop a sensitive, brief, and user-friendly trafficking screening tool for homeless young adults.
To identify and serve trafficking victims, we began our anti-human trafficking work in late 2015. We recognized the lack of consensus among providers about how to identify and serve human trafficking survivors. We committed to creating evidence-based approaches that would serve as a model for service providers in NJ and beyond.

TRAFFICKING
Recognizing Human Trafficking Among Homeless Youth
CHNJ needed to know how many of its clients were survivors of trafficking; moreover, CHNJ aimed to strengthen the evidence-base for service provision to homeless youth with a trafficking experience. In this way, CHNJ sought to improve the care of this important subset of its client population.
TRAFFICKING
This study is the largest to specifically assess homeless youth’s demographic and social variables for association with trafficking experience.
