title: ERRATUM: Sex Trafficking Assessment and Resources (STAR) for Pediatric Attendings in Rhode Island.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) victims have unique medical and mental health needs and present frequently for medical attention. Little is known about the reported training, screening, comfort and knowledge of DMST among pediatricians in Rhode Island who likely encounter these patient victims without knowing.
  
  
  METHODS
  An anonymous electronic survey sent to Rhode Island Hospital staff physicians from November 2014 through January 2015.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Of the 109 participants, the majority reported no training, screened no patients for DMST in the past year, did not know any resources available and had limited knowledge and comfort with this pediatric patient population.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Rhode Island pediatricians of various specialties do not feel adequately prepared to identify and respond to a DMST patient population. These findings inform the need for increased training and education on DMST in our medical community. [Full article available at http://rimed.org/rimedicaljournal-2016-09.asp, free with no login].
