NPD Forecast: Human Trafficking

By Jillian A. Russell, MSN, RN, NPD-BC

Did you know that human trafficking is the second-largest criminal industry in the world—and has only been illegal in the United States since 2000? Did you know that 88% of victims present to the healthcare setting at some point during their trafficked experience, yet only 1% of victims are ever identified? Nursing professional development (NPD) practitioners are uniquely positioned to close knowledge gaps and create awareness in the healthcare setting to identify victims of human trafficking. Explore this topic and more on the latest episode of the NPD Forecast—Human Trafficking—where Jenn Bodine, DNP, FNP-C, NPD-BC, CEN, and Jillian Russell, MSN, RN, NPD-BC, meet with Brittany Dunn, COO of Safe House Project and Sarah-Beth Evans, a familial sex trafficking lived experience expert.
