Against Human Trafficking

Dear Research Participant,

I am a doctoral student in Forensic Studies at Alliant International University and I am requesting your assistance in completing my dissertation research on Human Trafficking: Common Diagnoses and the Treatment of Sexual Exploitation. I hope that you will take a few minutes to complete this survey.

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=681623054851


The purpose of the research is to learn what the most common psychological implications and diagnoses are of sexually exploited trafficking survivors and what types of treatment, if any has been utilized and the success rate of those treatments.

Participation in this research is voluntary. In order to preserve complete confidentiality do not write any client names on any of the forms. Information regarding the results of this study will be made available to participants through professional publications. Furthermore, at completion of the survey the website goes to a page where the results are shared. If you would like the results when the quota has been met please let me know.

Any or all people that would meet the criteria for the survey may fill out the questionnaire: those working therapeutically with victims of sexual exploitation through human trafficking. It has proven to be difficult to find therapists and counselors that have worked with this specific population. If you have not worked with this specific population than I am sorry to have used your time.

This research is being conducted following the American Psychological Associations Ethical Standards including those for Research with Human Participants. Thank you in advance for your assistance in completing this research.

** I understand that human trafficking comes in many different forms; however, the specific topic has been narrowed to include any human trafficking survivor who has also been sexually assaulted in some way. I have included, in my literature review, the other forms of trafficking.


Thank you very much for your time,

Jessica Black
