Trafficked youth have numerous needs that must be addressed to give them opportunities to rebuild their lives. Few organizations offer comprehensive services to meet all these needs, which forces survivors to seek out services from multiple organizations and puts them at risk for not receiving important services. This study highlights the needs of organizations in an interagency task force that serve trafficked youth to identify barriers and generate potential solutions to service provision challenges. We conducted a mixed-methods needs assessment by conducting interviews with 15 service providers belonging to a regional human trafficking task force, which revealed a need for more services for trafficked youth, particularly in criminal justice and gender-based violence organizations. Implications of these findings include a need for centralized referral processes and more prevention services, such as a youth drop-in center and educational interventions.
被贩卖的青年有许多需求必须得到满足，才能有机会重建他们的生活。很少有组织提供全面的服务来满足所有这些需求，这迫使幸存者不得不从多个组织寻求服务，使他们面临无法获得重要服务的风险。本研究强调了为被贩卖青年提供服务的机构间工作队组织的需求，以确定服务提供挑战的障碍，并提出潜在的解决方案。我们通过对一个地区人口贩运工作队的 15 名服务提供者进行访谈，进行了一项混合方法的需求评估，结果显示被贩卖青年特别需要更多的服务，尤其是在刑事司法和基于性别的暴力组织中。这些调查结果的影响包括需要集中的转介程序和更多的预防服务，例如青年暂留中心和教育干预措施。
