RESUMEN
Our objective was to understand factors that support or undermine sexual and reproductive health care use among women released from jail. We conducted semistructured interviews with 28 women (ages 20-53) on average 6 months after their release from a city jail. Social support networks were the most common factor that supported women's sexual and reproductive health care use; having a medical home, reliable transportation, financial resources, and neighborhood dynamics were other factors mentioned by health care users. Community-based public health efforts should address the social context in which women on the margins of society perceive sexual health risk and use sexual and reproductive health care services.
RESUMEN
The medical sector presents a unique opportunity for identification and service to victims of human trafficking. In this article, we describe local and site-specific efforts to develop an intervention tool to be used in an urban hospital's emergency department in the midwestern United States. In the development of our tool, we focused on both identification and intervention to assist trafficked persons, through a largely collaborative process in which we engaged local stakeholders for developing site-specific points of intervention. In the process of developing our intervention, we highlight the importance of using existing resources and services in a specific community to address critical gaps in coverage for trafficked persons. For example, we focus on those who are victims of labor trafficking, in addition to those who are victims of sex trafficking. We offer a framework informed by rights-based approaches to anti-trafficking efforts that addresses the practical challenges of human trafficking victim identification while simultaneously working to provide resources and disseminate services to those victims.
