Effectiveness of Services for Victims of International Human Trafficking: An Exploratory Evaluation

摘要

A program serving victims of human trafficking who were undocumented immigrants in the United States was evaluated using a logic model as a conceptual framework, and a pre-experimental, retrospective research design based on chart review and key informant interview. Outcomes for 43 clients were examined in the areas of housing, food, immigration status, mental health, health, English-speaking ability, education and employment status, and life skills. The program was found to improve clients’ lives in some areas while operating within a challenging environment. Implications for program improvement and future evaluations are discussed.View full textDownload full textKeywordshuman trafficking, immigrant services, program evaluation, trafficking victims, undocumented immigrants, victim servicesRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15562948.2010.522462
