Abstract
Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) is increasingly in the news. It is instrumental that healthcare providers are educated about the topic and feel confident in their ability to identify and report a victim. The purpose of this study is to describe Kansas physicians' awareness of DMST. A 20-question survey was e-mailed to 1,668 physicians registered with the Kansas Board of Healing Arts in the specialties family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, and emergency medicine. Of those e-mailed, 69 physicians responded to the survey, giving a response rate of 4%. Only 12% of respondents were confident in identifying a victim and only 11% screen patients for DMST. Up to 48% admitted to not knowing answers to knowledge questions.
