“…Despite methodological difficulties facing researchers, there have been increased efforts to evaluate trafficking programs. Reviews on different aspects of human trafficking have been previously conducted to examine programs for preventing and suppressing cross-border sex trafficking in persons (Van der Laan, Smit, Busschers, & Aarten, 2011) and to synthesize the literature exploring the problems and needs of survivors of human trafficking (Ottisova et al, 2016) and the types of programs, services, and responses to human trafficking (Macy & Johns, 2011; Muraya & Fry, 2016; Wilson, Critelli, & Rittner, 2015); however, prior reviews have not focused on the effects of exit and postexit interventions. Synthesizing effects of interventions is an important next step to inform practice as well as to examine gaps in the literature and inform future research.…”
