Randomized Control Trial Protocol to Evaluate an Engaged-Bystander Approach to Prevent Child Sex Trafficking
Risk factors for child sex trafficking (CST) include substance use among familial traffickers, family violence, and poverty. Our research team will develop a novel intervention and prevention program based on these risk factors to reduce CST. We describe the design and methods we will use to evaluate our county-level cluster randomized control trial (cRCT) conducted in middle schools. Research aims include testing the combined effectiveness of 1)…
The See It to Stop It Indicator Tool to Identify Child Sex Trafficking
Adolescents involved in sex trafficking may not engage in help-seeking behavior due to fear, stigma, and lack of awareness about available resources. Likewise, professionals interacting with these youth may have little guidance on how to identify risk or respond when trafficking concerns are detected. This study describes the development, feasibility, acceptability, utility, and outcomes of the See It to Stop It Indicator (SITSII) tool for middle…

Combs was acquitted on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking and found guilty on two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution, facing a maximum of 20 years in prison for the counts. On October 3, 2025, Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison. The present commentary briefly dis…
Training Initiation and Completion in a Cluster Randomized Control Trial to Reduce Child Sex Trafficking in Middle Schools
Child sex trafficking (CST) has significant consequences for youth, families, and communities. Developing effective strategies to engage educational staff in reducing CST is essential given the time staff spend with students. This paper identifies predictors of training initiation and completion among middle school staff (MSS) engaged in a cluster randomized control trial (cRCT) to reduce CST. Methods: Staff were invited to complete a pre-interve…
A Multi-Site Consortium on Familial Sex Trafficking Prevention
Individual, Interpersonal, and Contextual
Background: Bystander intervention (BI) is a promising technique to reduce problematic alcohol use (PAU) and its consequences among college students. However, to effectively apply BI principles to PAU, it is essential to understand barriers and facilitators that influence whether an individual decides to intervene in PAU situations. Objectives: The purpose of this research is to identify barriers and facilitators to BI for PAU among college stude…

CSTOP Now
Child sex trafficking (CST) is a worldwide public health and social justice issue. Evaluations of prevention program effectiveness have been limited by the lack of validated measures to assess CST-related constructs. We drew from theory to adapt measures of adult sex trafficking and intimate partner violence precursors or risk factors to develop measures assessing CST constructs including CST myths, self-confidence to address CST, and comfort in …
Bystander intervention for problematic alcohol use among graduate and international students
OBJECTIVES: Bystander intervention (BI) is a prevention approach commonly used for interpersonal violence, but is less studied for problematic alcohol use (PAU). Domestic graduate and international students' life experiences bring a unique context for the potential application of BI to PAU. METHODS AND MEASURES: We conducted a mixed methods study that consisted of a needs assessment and focus groups at a southeastern university in the U.S. The ai…
I Don’t Want to Make Myself Look Like a Trouble-Maker”
This study shares findings of interviews with 25 faculty and staff from across the United States on their perspective on bystander intervention (BI) during instances of sexual harassment (SH) within academia. Factors that hindered BI included fears of retaliation, power dynamics, and perceived impacts on safety and career advancement. Facilitators of action included knowledge of SH and prior victimization; positionality and social identity were d…
I’ll Be That One Cockblocking Friend
The prevalence of sexual assault (SA) among college students (13%) is unacceptable, underreported, and alcohol use by the perpetrator or victim is reported in 50% of SA cases. Bystander intervention (BI) programs, which use prosocial behaviors to prevent or stop a harmful situation from occurring, have been implemented across college campuses to reduce SA. There are several known barriers (e.g. self-intoxication) and facilitators (e.g. peer suppo…

Gender, sexual orientation, and mental health in the kink community
A growing literature on kink practitioners reveals a complex picture of elevated risk of suicidal behaviors co-occurring with reduced reports of negative mental health outcomes. A key to understanding this conflicting pattern may be through identifying specific risk and protective mechanisms among distinct subgroups of kink practitioners. Comparisons in the health of kink practitioners based on gender and sexual orientation are currently lacking …

Campus- and Individual-Level Predictors of Risk for Interpersonal Violence Perpetration
Field Note—Responding to the #MeToo Era in Social Work
An alarming number of social work students indicate experiencing sexual harassment in their field placements; however, very few formally report these experiences. Recent public discussion about the prevalence of sexual harassment at work and the lack of trauma-informed responses have heightened the urgency to provide policy solutions that are effective at eliminating the behavior; social work students placed in field are no different. Field educa…

Bystander Intervention Efficacy to Reduce Teen Dating Violence Among High School Youth Who Did and Did Not Witness Parental Partner Violence
Youth who witness parental intimate partner violence (IPV) are at increased risk of teen dating violence (DV). This analysis of secondary data investigated whether a bystander intervention program, Green Dot, was effective at reducing physical and psychological DV victimization and perpetration among youth who had and had not previously witnessed parental IPV. The parent RCT assigned 13 schools to control and 13 schools to the Green Dot intervent…

Preferences in Information Processing, Marginalized Identity, and Non-Monogamy
Suicide-related behavior (SRB) is a mental health disparity experienced by the alternative sexuality community. We assessed mental health, relationship orientation, marginalized identities (i.e., sexual orientation minority, gender minority, racial minority, ethnic minority, and lower education), and preferences in information processing (PIP) as factors differentiating lifetime SRB groups. An online cross-sectional survey study was conducted in …

Workplace experiences of gay and lesbian criminal justice officers in the United States
Criminal justice culture values traditional masculinity, which has led to adverse workplace experiences for officers who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT). This study used focus group data to explore the workplace experiences of 10 law enforcement and 4 corrections officers in the US who attended an LGBT criminal justice conference in 2012. Gay men reported more severe and overt discrimination experiences, while women expe…
