entry into ORR’s secure, electronic data
repository. Data will be used to monitor
the health of unaccompanied children
while in ORR care and for case
management of any identified
conditions.
Children may be exposed to
nationally reportable infectious diseases
during the journey to the U.S., while in
the custody of the Customs and Border
Protection after crossing the border, or
during their stay in ORR custody. Public
health interventions such as quarantine,
vaccination or lab testing may be
initiated to reduce possible disease
transmission. Following an exposure,
children will be assessed onsite by care
provider program staff and if found to
be symptomatic, referred to a healthcare
provider for evaluation.
The Public Health Investigation
Forms are to be used as worksheets by
care provide program staff to record
their findings when an exposure has
been reported. Once completed, they
will enter the data into ORR’s secure
data repository. Data will be used to
track disease transmission and health
outcomes of children in ORR care.
ORR has repurposed the former
Health Assessment Form from a medical
and mental health information
collection to a mental health collection
only, and renamed it the Mental Health
Assessment Form. ORR has
incorporated other changes to the forms
to streamline the flow of data collection,
clarify the intent of certain fields,
improve data quality, and ensure
alignment with ORR program guidance.
In addition, ORR has written
instructional letters for the Medical
Health Assessment Form to explain the
purpose of the forms and provide
general guidance on completion to
healthcare providers.
Respondents: Mental health
professionals (psychiatrists, psychiatric
nurse practitioners or physician’s
assistants, licensed psychologist or any
other community based licensed mental
health provider (e.g., social worker)),
care provider program staff.

Background
The International Labor Organization
estimates 27.6 million people were
experiencing forced labor and/or
commercial sexual exploitation globally
on any given day in 2021. The global
prevalence of human trafficking
increased from 3.4 to 3.5 per thousand
people between 2016 and 2021, driven
entirely by the private economy.
Although there is still no rigorous
prevalence estimate of human
trafficking within the United States,
cases of human trafficking have been
reported in all 50 states and the District
of Columbia, on tribal land, and within
U.S. territories.
Human trafficking is a public health
issue and crime with adverse physical
and mental health, developmental,
financial, and social effects, which often
reach beyond the individual directly
impacted to affect families,
communities, industries, and society at
large. In response to the U.S.
Government’s recognition that human
trafficking is both a transnational and
national issue of significant concern, the
Trafficking Victims Protection Act of
2000 (TVPA) and its subsequent
reauthorizations created a three-pronged
(‘‘3P’’) federal framework to address
human trafficking—prevention,
protection, and prosecution. A fourth
‘‘P’’—for partnership—serves as a
complementary means to achieve
progress across the 3Ps and engage
multiple sectors of society in the work
