Our research team used the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being II to explore relationships between demographic factors, domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) status, and several psychosocial dependent variables for children and youth in the child welfare system who affirm that they have been paid for sex within the past 6 months. The sample included a total of 814 children and youth, 38 of whom reported DMST victimization. Results revealed that youth with a history of DMST victimization were more likely than their nonexploited peers to report runaway behavior, demonstrate externalizing behaviors, and test in the clinical range for a substance abuse problem. Research and practice implications are discussed.
我们的研究团队利用《全国儿童和青少年幸福状况第二次调查》，探究了人口统计学因素、国内未成年人性交易（DMST）状况，以及儿童福利系统中那些确认在过去6个月内有过性交易收入的儿童和青少年的几个心理社会因变量之间的关系。样本总共包括814名儿童和青少年，其中38人报告遭受过DMST侵害。结果显示，有DMST受害史的青少年比未受剥削的同龄人更有可能报告离家出走行为、表现出外化行为，并且在药物滥用问题的临床范围内进行检测。本文讨论了研究和实践意义。
