N2 - This study involved secondary data analysis of baseline and post-program survey data collected from youth ages 10–21, who participated in in the Not a Number (NAN) trafficking prevention program across 24 states (N = 10,915). Analyses examined differences in baseline awareness of CSE dynamics and help-seeking intention across youth subgroups and measured changes pre- and post-program delivery. Older youth knew more about trafficking but reported less intention to seek help from different resources in exploitive situations. Gender minority youth reported lower rates of help-seeking intention compared to other youth. Post-program outcomes were significantly different from baseline across all outcomes.
