Surveys

You are invited to take part in this research study because you work as part of a collaborative or multidisciplinary team (MDT) addressing child sexual exploitation. This survey is being administered as part of a collaboration between the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Northeastern University, and the University of South Florida—the project is funded by the National Institute of Justice [Award No.: 15PNIJ-24-GG-01653-MUMU].

As part of this research, we seek to survey stakeholders and service providers who work on collaborative teams to learn more about diverse processes and procedures in addressing child sexual exploitation. Note that we refer to teams that work this way as “multidisciplinary teams” or “MDTs,” but recognize that your team may use a different term (for example: task force, collaborative, coalition, initiative). Please keep this in mind as you consider participating in the survey. We think that your experience in your professional role will give us valuable information, and we would appreciate it if you could fill out the linked survey. The study is outlined in more detail below.

Title: A National Review of Multidisciplinary Teams Addressing Child Sexual Exploitation
IRB Study #: 0036-25-EX

Objective:
The purpose of our collaboration is to inform the landscape of multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) addressing child sexual exploitation, which includes both child sex trafficking and child exploitation material. This information may assist future development and refinement of MDT approaches and suggest critical areas for research to improve comprehensive responses to child sexual exploitation.

This survey is used to gather preliminary information about your MDT and to assess your interest in completing a more in-depth case study site visit. Note that we are not asking you to discuss private or sensitive client information—we are only interested in your role on the MDT and how it operates.  

We hope you can take the time to take our short survey linked at the bottom of this letter. 

Survey Details:
The survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. If you agree to participate, you can click the Qualtrics link at the end of this letter to complete the short survey. We request that responses be returned by September 30, 2026.

Protection of Information:
At the conclusion of the study, we may publish major findings in scholarly and professional publications. However, you and your organization would not be identified directly by name in any scholarly products from this study. We will keep your study records as confidential as possible. It is possible, although unlikely, that unauthorized individuals could gain access to your responses because you are responding online. Your information will be kept private by storing data on an encrypted, password-protected drive, retained by the principal investigator, and accessed only by the research team. 

Final Report:
We will do our best to distribute the results of this study to everyone who participates. If you are concerned that we will not have your contact information after completing the survey to receive our final report, then you can reach out to us at mdtsnationalreview@unomaha.edu to be added to our distribution list.

 
If you have any questions, please reach out to our research team. Our contact details are below.

Additionally, if there is someone else in your organization or professional network that you think is appropriate to complete this survey, we would also appreciate it if you could forward this email to them. 

If you have previously responded to the survey, please accept our thanks and disregard this message.

You are invited to complete a 15-minute anonymous survey for a study titled: The Effects of Compounded Trauma Exposure on the Emotional Well-being and Retention of Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners.

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) and those who work in a dual role while also working in the emergency department provide care to their patients during some of the most traumatic moments in their lives. Although this work can be deeply meaningful, repeated trauma exposure may influence nurses’ professional quality of life and their decision to remain in these essential roles.

This study seeks to understand the relationships among secondary traumatic stress, burnout, compassion satisfaction, and intention to leave among emergency department nurses and dual role nurses. Findings may help identify opportunities to better support trauma-exposed nurses, strengthen workforce retention, and inform future research and organizational practices.

Seeking volunteers that meet these requirements:

• Work in the emergency department

• Work as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) while also working in the emergency department

• Minimum of one year in your role

• Practicing registered nurse in the United States

The survey will be open until the end of July 2026. Questions should be directed to Alyssa.Neitzert@Waldenu.edu

Why is this research being done?The survey is designed to help us learn about nurses’ attitudes and perceptions regarding medication error reporting and any perceived barriers to reporting within a punitive error culture.

How long will the research last? It will take about 10-15 minutes to complete the pre-survey and educational module. A brief post-survey will be completed two weeks later and should take about 5-10 minutes to complete.

What happens if I say “Yes, I want to be in this research”? If you decide to participate, please do the following: Complete a confidential online survey about your personal attitudes and perceptions of medication error reporting. You will then complete a brief educational module discussing medication error reporting and patient safety culture. You will then be asked to complete a follow-up survey two weeks later.
