AB ESSENTIALS  OF  DIAGNOSISClinicians  in  any  setting  may  encounter  patients  who  are  or  have  been  subject  to  human  trafficking.A  number  of  signs,  symptoms,  and  behaviors  may  serve  as  “red  flags”  that  a  patient  is  experiencing  trafficking.Standard  practices,  such  as  interviewing  all  patients  alone  for  a  portion  of  the  visit  and  the  consistent  use  of  trained  interpreters,  can  help  facilitate  patient  disclosure.While  specific  questions  may  elicit  current  or  past  trafficking,  clinicians  should  also  use  communication  skills  that  support  patient  trust  such  as  empathic  listening  techniques,  eye  contact,  and  engaged  listening.Within  the  United  States,  the  National  Human  Trafficking  Resource  Center,  1-888-373-7888,  provides  real-time  assistance  regarding  patient  safety  evaluation  and  resources  to  assist  clinicians  and  patients.
