Research: Human Trafficking Victims and Attribution of Blame
Receive a $5 Amazon gift card for participating in an approximately 30 minute survey here. This research study is being conducted to better understand how reading different perspectives of human trafficking affect one's attribution of victim blame and levels of empathy among survey respondents. The results of this study may help to inform future efforts in incorporating human trafficking education into medical education and may delineate tactics to make such education more impactful to future and current healthcare providers. Your participation is voluntary. Your decision not to take part or to withdraw will involve no penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled. As a participant in this study you will complete a survey. You will be asked several questions about yourself including age, gender and ethnicity but we will not collect any identifying information. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Austin Oberlin <oberlinam@vcu.edu>.
