Canadian cross-sectional survey of healthcare, social and community service providers’ capacity to respond to sex trafficked persons

As the number of hours of education and/or training on sex trafficking increased, so did respondents' capacity to respond to sex trafficked persons. These results highlight a need for more education and training to help build capacity among healthcare, social and community service providers in identifying sex trafficked persons and providing appropriate care. Appropriately trained service providers can better support sex trafficked persons' complex needs and potentially mitigate adverse outcomes.
