This project aims to strengthen the
health systems' response to human trafficking in four key ways: 1.
Increasing knowledge about human trafficking among health care
providers; 2. Building the capacity of health care providers to
deliver culturally appropriate and trauma-informed care to victims
of human trafficking; 3. Increasing the identification of victims
of human trafficking; and 4. Increasing services to survivors of
human trafficking. To achieve these aims four sites throughout the
country will be chosen to pilot the SOAR to Health and Wellness
Training. The learning objectives for the training match the
project aims, these objectives are for healthcare providers to 1.
Describe the scope, severity, and diversity of human trafficking in
the United States; 2. Recognize the common indicators and high risk
factors for human trafficking; 3. Use trauma-informed techniques
when interviewing a potential victim of human trafficking; and 4.
Identify and engage local, state and national service referral
options for trafficking victims. The target population is 300+
healthcare providers in 5 sites (Site selection under way). The
evaluation is an impact evaluation, measuring immediate outcomes
(i.e., from pre-intervention to post-intervention, with the
intervention being 2-3 hours depending on the format to be used at
each site), as well as intermediate outcomes at 3-month post
intervention. The evaluation methodology will include the following
key components: 1. A standard pre-test administered 2-3 weeks prior
to the training program via an email survey. Since participants
will be required to register ahead of time, we will have their
names and email addresses prior to the training event and will
contact them with information about the training and a link to
complete the pre-test. 2. A post-test with retrospective pre-test
at the end of the training program. Standard pre- and post-test
administrations in short (e.g., 1-day) trainings often fail to
accurately measure increases in knowledge because respondents'
pre-test scores are naturally inflated; that is, participants often
"don't know what they don't know" and their pre-test scores are
often unrealistically high. During the actual training they often
become aware of their gaps in knowledge and their post-test
responses tend to be more tempered. As a result, the pre- and
post-test instrument fails to accurately measure gains. To address
this issue, some research and evaluation professionals have begun
to use post-tests with retrospective pre-tests. 3. A 3-month
follow-up survey with ALL participants, via email. A modified
pre-/post-test instrument will be emailed to all training
participants 3 months after the training to assess whether gains in
knowledge and skills or shifts in attitudes have been maintained
and generalized, and whether the participants have changed their
practice behavior as a result of the training. All participants
will be told prior to and during the workshop that we will
follow-up with them after three months, and we will obtain
significant locator information so we can ensure contact at the
3-month mark. This locator information will include not only
work-related data (address, telephone, email, etc.), but also their
secondary or private email addresses, cell phones, and names of
colleagues who will "always know how to contact them". 4. A brief
(20-minute maximum) 3-month phone interview with a subsample of
participants. A second random subsample of participants will be
selected and these individuals will be invited to participate in a
follow-up phone call to get more specific qualitative data about
changes in practice behaviors as a result of the training. The
subsample will be 20% of the participants; based on the target of
300 provider participants this represents 60 individuals, which is
around the sample size considered sufficient to achieve saturation
in qualitative research.
