Evaluating the California Human Trafficking Victim Assistance Grant Program

• In Event: Evaluating Outcomes of Services for Human Trafficking Survivors

Abstract

The evaluation of the California Human Trafficking Victim Assistance Grant Program includes a rigorous quasi-experimental process and outcome evaluation using the OHTS 2.0. The study’s primary purpose is to examine the impact of the three service models on the 14 OHTS outcomes. This includes an analysis of what works for whom by estimating how the service model’s effect on OHTS outcomes is moderated by participant demographic and victimization characteristics as well as participant service receipt characteristics (e.g., mode, duration, frequency, and model of delivery). This presentation will include 1) an overview of the new OHTS version 2.0, including its improved functionality, and additional measures and data visualization capabilities and 2) preliminary data analyses involving OHTS 2.0 data, including participant demographic data, victimization characteristics, participant service receipt characteristics, and participant outcome data.
