d. Some patients do not see themselves as victims of human trafficking and may take offense.

Labeling or assuming someone is a trafficking victim can stigmatize, damage trust, and discourage disclosure. Use nonjudgmental, trauma‑informed, open-ended questions and let the patient describe their situation.
