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 traumainformed 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:
ï‚·

Respond to Postgraduate Institute for Medicine
accreditation requirements through SOAR T/TA

ï‚·

Reduce burden where applicable

ï‚·

Provide flexibility for NHTTAC to assess new knowledge
gains, application of skills/competencies, and
outcomes of participants who received NHTTAC T/TA

ï‚·

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.
