65.3 a socio-cultural formulation for vulnerable children

Social determinants of health that increase vulnerability toward childhood exploitation have been identified. During our work in assessing, understanding, and treating trafficked or commercial sexually exploited youth, it is important to appreciate the social and cultural factors involved in their development and presentation for treatment. This presentation aims to: 1) review some screening measures for risk and systematic formulations; and 2) explore practical approaches to incorporate a sociocultural approach when assessing vulnerable pediatric populations.
