 1. PROPOSAL summary/abstract

Many sex workers are victims of human trafficking (HT). These domestic or immigrant minors or adults are forced or coerced into sex work and are struggling with addiction, mental health problems and early childhood trauma. Our goal is to develop an online module to train health professionals in the UCSF community and beyond in evidence-based approaches to identifying HT victims and addressing their physical, legal and mental health needs. 

 2. Background and significance

Proposal Summary: 

          A significant proportion of patients with cancer receive radiation therapy during the course of their illness, and up to 50% of these patients are treated by palliative intent (Carvavatta 2011).

Concept Description:

In the US, nearly 50,000 children die annually and nearly half a million children have complex chronic conditions.¹ Care for these children is currently expensive and inadequate due to limited availability of complex care and palliative care programs. ^2,3 Training providers to care for this growing population of children is critical to improving quality and health outcomes for this vulnerable subset of patients and their families.
