The bystander readiness to help scale was based on the denial subscale of the readiness to help scale (D-RHS; Banyard et al., 2014) to assess students's awareness of and willingness to engage in prevention efforts regarding CSE among high school students in their school district. These items have similarly been adapted for measuring opinions regarding relationship abuse and/or sexual assault among high school students (Edwards et al., 2018). The scale consists of four statements using a 4-point Likert scale (1 = strongly agree to 4 = strongly disagree). A total score is calculated from the average of the items, with higher scores reflective of a greater sense of need and the willingness to engage.

Consistent with other measures of sexual violence/teen dating violence knowledge for youth (Edwards et al., 2019), questions (e.g., "most victims are trafficked by strangers") are True/False. We provide youth a definition of CSE, specifically, sex trafficking. We created six items to measure adolescents' knowledge of CSE. The respondents are asked if they believe the statements to be true or false. Items are scored based upon whether they were answered correctly (1) or incorrectly (0). The scores were then averaged to create a cumulative score that reflects the proportion of statements answered correctly (Min=0, Max=6).

Author created items to assess confidence in resistance to being a victim of CSEC. Two statements asked how confident the participant is in recognizing sex trafficking (i.e., "If someone tried to force you into sex trafficking, how confident are you that you would recognize it?"), and keeping it from happening (i.e., "If someone tried to force you into sex trafficking, how confident are you that you would be able to keep it from happening?"). Participants rated the statements using the four options: Not at all confident (1), Somewhat confident (2), Very confident (3) , and I don't want to answer this question (-999). Total score was calculated into a mean with higher scores indicating higher efficacy.

The bystander readiness to help scale was based on the denial subscale of the readiness to help scale (D-RHS; Banyard et al., 2014b) to assess school personnel's awareness of and willingness to engage in prevention efforts regarding CSE among high school students in their school district. These items have similarly been adapted for measuring opinions regarding relationship abuse and/or sexual assault among high school students (Edwards et al., 2018). The scale consists of four statements using a 4-point Likert scale (1 = strongly agree to 4 = strongly disagree).
