A coordinated response by a trained multidisciplinary team (MDT) can help support child sex trafficking (CST) victims, but little is known about factors that influence the development and sustainability of MDTs in this work. An online survey was conducted with 171 professionals who attended a Multidisciplinary Team Child Sex Trafficking (MDT-CST) training to identify factors related to team growth. Increased MDT success was related to: (1) the presence of a CST-specific advocacy organization in the community; (2) other community agencies active in supporting CST victims (e.g., SANE nurses, faith-based organizations, and runaway shelters); (3) a greater breadth of professional representation on the MDT; and (4) agency leadership support for the CST action plan. Most of the MDTs sustained and increased their coordination with other community agencies over time, but the study identified that growth is improved when administrators support team efforts and there are resources and supports for CST victims elsewhere in the community.

多学科团队在儿童性交易案件中的可持续性预测。

训练有素的多学科团队 (MDT) 的协调响应可以帮助支持儿童性交易 (CST) 受害者，但对影响 MDT 在这项工作中的发展和可持续性的因素知之甚少。对参加多学科团队儿童性交易 (MDT-CST) 培训的 171 名专业人员进行了一项在线调查，以确定与团队成长相关的因素。MDT 成功的增加与以下因素有关：(1) 社区中存在特定于 CST 的宣传组织；(2) 积极支持 CST 受害者的其他社区机构（例如，SANE 护士、信仰组织和逃亡收容所）；(3) 更广泛的 MDT 专业代表；(4) 机构领导对 CST 行动计划的支持。
