NATIONAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING CENTER HOTLINE

Here are some important considerations when assessing a potential trafficking situation:  

• Trafficker’s presence: Be aware if the trafficker is in the patient’s room, waiting area, or home, as this may impact the patient’s ability to speak freely.  

• Safety concerns: Determine whether calling a hotline or involving outside resources could place the patient or their family in danger.  

• Patient’s age: Consider legal protections and mandatory reporting requirements, especially if the patient is a minor.
