Summary
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is proposing to collect data on human trafficking and other victimization experiences among youth recently or currently involved in the child welfare system. The goal of the one-time survey is to better understand trafficking experiences, to identify modifiable risk and protective factors associated with trafficking victimization, and to inform child welfare policy, programs, and practice.
Supplementary Information
ACF is proposing data collection as part of the study, “Survey of Youth Transitioning from Foster Care”. This Notice provides the opportunity to comment on a survey of youth with current or recent involvement in foster care.
Primary data collected includes a one-time survey with up to 780 youth aged 18 or 19 who were in foster care during their 17th year. The survey will be conducted in-person, with both field interviewer-administered items and Audio-Computer Assisted Self-Interview (ACASI) items that the youth will complete privately for sensitive topics. Survey questions will be focused on the youths' demographic data, trafficking and other victimization histories, internal and external assets, and risk and protective factors. Involvement with child welfare and juvenile justice systems, and utilization of other services will also be addressed in the data collection.
