Dannelle created a computer based training on the subject of Child Sex Trafficking  for nurses at Children’s of Alabama (COA). She developed a survey for pre-training and post training to evaluate the immediate effect of the training. She also developed a follow-up questionnaire to evaluate longer term effects of the training. During the development of the training, she spent time at the CHIPS center talking with staff.  She was able to sit in on a debriefing meeting and learn about the needs of the survivors. She also spent time with adult trafficking survivors with Trafficking Hope, some of whom were trafficked at an early age. Dannelle’s training will be updated annually and will be part of the nurses’ new hire curriculum at COA.

As a result of the project:

• 1,077 nurses completed the training 
• 215 completed the pre-survey and training in surgical services departments  
• 157 completed the post survey
• 100% RNs scored > 90% on post training test
