Abstract
A program serving victims of human trafficking who were undocumented immigrants in the United States was evaluated using a logic model as a conceptual framework, and a pre-experimental, retrospective research design based on chart review and key informant interview. Outcomes for 43 clients were examined in the areas of housing, food, immigration status, mental health, health, English-speaking ability, education and employment status, and life skills. The program was found to improve clients' lives in some areas while operating within a challenging environment. Implications for program improvement and future evaluations are discussed. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
