The purpose of this study was to explicate a conceptual framework for the prevention of human trafficking from the perspective of those most impacted: human trafficking survivors. In doing so establishing an empirical foundation for human trafficking prevention research. To achieve this aim, researchers employed Group Concept Mapping (GCM). GCM is an integrated, mixed-method, research design that analyzes qualitative data via quantitative approaches, namely multidimensional scaling and hierarchical cluster analyses. All participants (N = 35) identified as human trafficking survivors from one of four states in the United States. Results indicate that survivors in this sample conceptualize prevention via a 10-cluster solution. Furthermore survivors rated the cluster on Education and Awareness (9) as the most Important (4.60), as well as the most Feasible (4.28). This paper will review extant literature related to human trafficking, explicate results from this study, and discuss pragmatic prevention implications related to findings.
本研究的目的是从受影响最大的群体——人口贩运幸存者的角度，阐明一个预防人口贩运的概念框架。这样做是为人口贩运预防研究奠定实证基础。为实现这一目标，研究人员采用了群体概念映射法（GCM）。GCM是一种综合的混合方法研究设计，通过定量方法，即多维尺度分析和层次聚类分析来分析定性数据。所有参与者（N = 35）均为来自美国四个州之一的人口贩运幸存者。结果表明，该样本中的幸存者通过一个10聚类解决方案来构想预防措施。此外，幸存者将教育与意识聚类（9）评为最重要的（4.60），也是最可行的（4.28）。本文将回顾与人口贩运相关的现有文献，阐述本研究的结果，并讨论与研究结果相关的务实预防意义。
