Study Summary
Persons traumatized through sex trafficking can demonstrate similar neurobehavioral and executive function (EF) deficits as persons with cortical injuries. In this pilot study, occupation-based activity (OBA) programming was implemented at a residence for females who had been trafficked. The study hypothesis was that OBA would facilitate development of EF skills in these clients, enabling more successful occupational performance. Method: Eight women engaged in OBA sessions over the course of eight months. Session objectives were to maximize independence in daily life skills and to foster EF component skills such as problem-solving, decision-making, cooperation, direction following and appropriate self-expression. Outcome measures used were the Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT), the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Occupational Therapy Task Observation Scale (OTTOS). Results: Gains were seen from baseline to final session in COPM score changes meeting minimally clinical difference, and OTTOS scores showing significant improvement: t(7)= -2.49, p=.04. Preliminary findings suggest that occupation-based programming may facilitate development of EF skills in sex-trafficked women.
Primary Outcome
The EFPT is a task-based measure where clients engage in actual functional tasks, including a simple cooking activity, use of telephone to obtain public information, organization of a medication routine, and money management. The number of cues needed to perform each task and the type of cue used is recorded. The EFPT measures the construct of executive function.
