This study examined views of treatment engagement shared by survivors of adolescent sex trafficking and experienced clinicians.
The purpose of this study was to explore the perspectives of adolescent clients and clinicians regarding perceived barriers and facilitators of treatment engagement. Results indicated that similarities and differences exist between the perspectives of clients and clinicians regarding the barriers and facilitators of treatment. Interviews were conducted with seven clinical staff members (including six with Master of Social Work degrees) and six clients who experienced sex trafficking and received treatment during adolescence. Consensual Qualitative Research methods were utilized to analyze interview data. Treatment programs are needed to address the complex needs of adolescent sex trafficking survivors, yet challenges exist to engaging adolescents in treatment. (Published Abstract Provided)
