New Special Issue Publication! The Public Health Response to Human Trafficking: A Look-Back and a Step Forward Co-edited by Ginny Sprang, Jordan Greenbaum, and Hanni Stoklosa, this special issue aims to build the evidence base for human trafficking prevention and intervention and elevate the importance of strong public health responses to commercialized forms of violence. It highlights innovative strategies for human trafficking research, prevention, and service delivery, including advanced methods of prevalence estimation, use of telemental health services, and a study of racial bias and discrimination in the field. The studies in this supplement prompt additional research questions and encourage new strategies for identifying and serving those who have experienced human trafficking. Multiple studies in this issue highlight the strengths of the public health approach to human trafficking. 

  • The Public Health Response to Human Trafficking: A Look Back and a Step Forward Guest Editorial, written by Ginny Sprang, Hanni Stoklosa, & Jordan Greenbaum

  • Posttraumatic Cognitions and Posttraumatic Stress Symptoms Among Young People Who Have Experienced Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Trafficking, authored by Elizabeth W. Perry, Melissa C. Osborne, NaeHyung Lee, Kelly Kinnish, & Shannon R. Self-Brown, explores posttraumatic cognitions among help-seeking young people aged 11-19 who have experienced CSE/T; determines whether experiencing direct violence, witnessing violence, polyvictimization (ie, multiple exposures to different categories of potentially traumatic events), or demographic characteristics differentially affect whether these young people meet clinical criteria for posttraumatic cognitions using established cutoffs; and explores associations between posttraumatic cognitions and PTSS among young people who have experienced CSE/T.
