TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Human trafficking: what the pediatric nurse needs to know JO - Journal of Pediatric Nursing A1 - Kubin, Laura A1 - Fogg, Niki SP - 126 EP - 128 VL - 70 IS - N2 - Healthcare providers are in a unique position to recognize children who are at risk for human trafficking. Research shows that most trafficking victims have seen a healthcare professional at some point during their exploitation. This places healthcare providers in the position to recognize that something is wrong and take steps to provide support ( Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response, 2023; National Human Trafficking Resource Center, 2023 ; Waugh, 2018). Pediatric nurses in healthcare and community settings should have the knowledge necessary to recognize and report potential trafficking victims. This includes a general understanding of human trafficking, awareness of risk factors, assessment skills to recognize, resources to report, and education to help prevent human trafficking.
