Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participating staff will be emailed a link that will take them to a description of the study. Participation will involve receipt of online training, as randomized at the county level, and completing surveys immediately before receipt of the first training and at the end of each of school terms annually.
Aim 1. Evaluate the effectiveness of child sex trafficking (CST) prevention training implemented among middle school staff randomized, at the Kentucky county level, to change middle school staff:
1. Knowledge of child sexual exploitation and trafficking (hypothesize greater knowledge in Intervention versus Control),
2. Attitudes towards child sexual exploitation and trafficking (hypothesize lower stigma in Intervention versus Control),
3. Willingness and efficacy to intervene (hypothesize greater efficacy in Intervention versus Control),
4. Use of 'bystander' actions to thwart child sexual exploitation and trafficking risk (hypothesize increase actions in Intervention versus Control),
5. Use child sex trafficking screening, referral and reporting (hypothesize increase actions in Intervention versus Control),
Aim 2. Evaluate effectiveness of child sex trafficking mass media intervention (Intervention versus Control), randomized and measured at the Kentucky county-level, based on middle school staff survey data:
1. To increase child sexual exploitation and trafficking screening \& reporting in short term (Years 1-2),
2. Begin to reduce child sexual exploitation and trafficking rates in longer term (Year 3-4) Analyses for both aims will be adjusted for school and county-level attributes

CSTOP Now! Child Sex Trafficking Stops with You
For this RCT, our research team has created CSTOP Now! online, interactive learning management system training. This CSTOP Now! online training will be offer to middle school staff in Kentucky counties randomized to this experimental intervention arm. This training seeks to provide middle school staff with information and resources to identify, intervene in, and prevent child sex trafficking (CST). This training will provide middle school staff with the knowledge, skills, and efficacy to intervene with children at risk of or experiencing CST. This training will also provide staff with skills to disrupt harmful attitudes or misinformation about CST.
CSTOP Now!
Child sex trafficking stops with you. Implement and evaluate the effectiveness of a multi-level bystander-informed program (CSTOP Now!) aimed at Kentucky public middle school staff. Participants will be trained to use the See It To Stop It Indicator Tool (SITSII) by using tiers of concern (clear concern, possible concern, and monitor of emerging concern). The SITSII tool directs the bystander actions to Decide, Directly Intervene, Disrupt, Delegate, and Document.
Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky Online Training
With input from Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky, our team developed training delivered via LMS and designed to identify child sex trafficking among middle school students. Only for middle school staff in counties randomized to the active comparator, we offer this online training using the same approach as that for staff in the intervention condition.
Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky Online Training
The Kentucky State Police, in association with Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky, have developed videos we invite active comparator schools to review which also include how to identify and report child sex trafficking.
