This screening tool is designed as a guide to informally help professionals and non-professionals screen for elements that may indicate potential sex and/or labor trafficking in adults and minors and to offer suggestions on how to respond. Caution must be exercised in relying exclusively or too heavily on the results of the screening tool alone, as the tool is neither exhaustive nor cumulative in nature, and results do not definitively preclude or confirm the possibility of victimization or guarantee safety. Identifying and helping victims of trafficking can be difficult and can further endanger the victim. As such, if at any time you believe that a person is a victim of sex and/or labor trafficking, you should contact your local law enforcement, regardless of the results of the screening tool. This tool is not validated but draws from evidence-based practices and similar screening tools used by other practitioners.
