HEAL Trafficking Webinar: Ethical and Practical Considerations for Collecting Longitudinal Data from CSEC Youth
We discuss “A longitudinal evaluation of a survivor-mentor program for child survivors of sex trafficking in the United States” (2020) with Katherine Bright, a PhD candidate at University of Rutgers School of Criminal Justice and one of the authors on the study.
Bright explores the findings of the research, but more importantly, she shares the methods her team developed to conduct longitudinal research with a population of youth that were often difficult to trace over time. She also discusses the methods for debriefing with research team members and ensuring their well-being during the process of the research.
