Creating Evidence in the Anti-Trafficking Movement: UNH begins groundbreaking evaluation of a child trafficking prevention program.
Child trafficking has gained increased attention over the last several years, with growing community consensus that resources must be allocated towards targeted and effective solutions.

While many prevention education curricula have been developed, to date, no child trafficking prevention curriculum has undergone a rigorous external outcome evaluation to show evidence-based impact – but that is about to change. After years of curriculum development and implementation, Love146’s Not a Number prevention education curriculum will be evaluated by Lisa Jones, Ph.D. and her team at the University of New Hampshire’s Crimes Against Children Research Center.
