Sex Traff

SexTraff is a Sex Trafficking screening tool for health care providers.

SexTraff was designed by two physicians to be a screening tool used by healthcare professionals. Use of this application will help them discern patients at risk for being sexual trafficking victims. Healthcare professionals are very likely to be the ones that first identify victims. This app separates victims under 18 years of age from those 18 years of age or older. By answering questions about the index patient, a sum of points will be indicated. A total of eight or more points indicates that the patient is at significant risk for being trafficked. The professional should call the indicated human trafficking hot line for help and the local police department. Patients under 18 years of age with 8 or more point totals should be referred to local child protective services as well as the local police department. Patients with borderline totals likely need further evaluation by a professional with expertise in human sex trafficking.
