SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The NHTTAC delivers training and technical assistance
(T/TA) to inform and deliver a public health response to trafficking.
In applying a public health approach, NHTTAC holistically builds the
capacity of professionals, organizations, and communities to identify
and respond to the complex needs of all individuals who have
experienced trafficking or who have increased risk factors for
trafficking and address the root causes that put individuals, families,
and communities at risk of trafficking. These efforts ultimately help
improve the availability and delivery of coordinated and trauma-
informed services before, during, and after an individual's trafficking
exploitation, regardless of their age, gender identity, sexual
orientation, race/ethnicity, nationality, or type of exploitation
experienced.
NHTTAC hosts a variety of services, programs, and facilitated
sessions to improve service provision to people who have experienced
trafficking or who have increased risk factors for trafficking,
including The Human Trafficking Leadership Academy (HTLA); SOAR (Stop,
Observe, Ask, and Respond) to Health and Wellness; OTIP-funded
recipients; both short-term and specialized T/TA requests; the NHTTAC
Customer Support; and information through NHTTAC's website, resources,
and materials about trafficking. This information collection is
intended to collect feedback from participants to assess a diverse
range of T/TA provided by NHTTAC.
Revisions have been made in order to:
<bullet> Respond to Postgraduate Institute for Medicine accreditation
requirements through SOAR T/TA
<bullet> Reduce burden where applicable
<bullet> Provide flexibility for NHTTAC to assess new knowledge gains,
application of skills/competencies, and outcomes of participants who
received NHTTAC T/TA
<bullet> Understand NHTTAC's progress on improving diversity, equity,
and inclusion
Respondents: NHTTAC T/TA participants include OTIP grant
recipients, individuals with lived experience, professionals who
interact with and provide services to individuals who have experienced
trafficking, including healthcare, behavioral health, public health,
and human service practitioners, organizations, and communities.
