Elements of a care pathway for human trafficking victims in emergency departments: A mapping review

20241 citationOpen accessUniversity of the Free State

Abstract

Human trafficking victims may escape detection in EDs. This mapping review identified elements to be included in a care pathway for recognizing and responding to victims of human trafficking. The care pathway should be built on person-centered and trauma-informed care and include prevention, protection, prosecution, and partnership-building strategies. Moreover, an interprofessional team approach is needed to identify, assess, and care for such victims. Future studies should develop a standardized care pathway for healthcare professionals to recognize and respond to human trafficking victims in emergency departments.
