A recently published book, Human Trafficking Is a Public Health Issue: A Paradigm Expansion in the United States, is the first book of its kind, with a comprehensive look – from a public health perspective – at human trafficking in the US. This web conference will explore the problematic nature of human trafficking in our communities through the public health lens and how it is linked to sexual violence and domestic violence. We will identify fundamental types and essential elements of human trafficking to consider and incorporate while developing primary prevention programs. We will also highlight examples of anti-human trafficking prevention work being pursued by community health organizations and discuss strategies and actionable goals to create programs to prevent human trafficking in your communities.
HOSTS:
- David S. Lee, MPH PreventConnect and CALCASA
- Hanni Marie Stoklosa, MD, MPH, HEAL Trafficking
OBJECTIVES:
- Introduce essential elements of human trafficking as a public health issue as opposed to a criminal justice perspective
- Articulate the problematic and complex nature of human trafficking and how it intersects with sexual and domestic violence in primary prevention programs

Hi Helen,
You should be able to find the slides at the bottom of this page. We will also email you. Thanks!
When will the recording be available? I have been trying to access it and it says there is a wait list.
Is there a recording that has all of the audio? I can’t get the sound to work on the video after the YouTube clip. Thanks!
Melissa- The audio recording link has been fixed and you should be able to listen to the complete web conference.
Thank you so much!
How do I access past recordings?
