abstract="Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of U.S. minors for the purposes of a commercial sex act. DMST victims and survivors often become involved with state-level systems including the child welfare and/or juvenile justice systems. This study presents exploratory qualitative findings regarding the role of interpersonal relationships in the lives of system-involved DMST survivors from the perspectives of DMST survivors. <br><br>RESULTS indicate survivors perceive interpersonal relationships as key to promoting risk, providing protection, and fostering resiliency over DMST. <br><br>FINDINGS from the current study not only provide a context for understanding the role of interpersonal relationships in the lives of DMST survivors but also point to directions for development of interventions targeted toward this population.<br><br>Copyright © 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
