Subject:Human Trafficking Assessment Tools and Child Forensic Interviews

Greetings, I am working with our state’s youth courts to implement human trafficking assessments. My concern is how implementation of these assessments might affect subsequent forensic interviews, especially since the assessments require asking youth direct questions. Is anyone investigating a possible interaction between human trafficking assessments and forensic interviews of youth? Thank you, Tamara Tamara E. Hurst, Ph.D., LCSW Associate Professor, School of Social Work Mississippi Human Trafficking Council PI, Mississippi Wraparound Institute The University of Southern Mississippi Tamara.Hurst@usm.edu 601-266-4173
