abstract="OBJECTIVE: This study explored the perceptions of members of a multidisciplinary team (MDT) when working with victims of commercial sexual exploitation. <br><br>METHOD: Sixteen members of a state-mandated MDT, representing various professions, were individually interviewed to gain their perspective on the functioning of the MDT, including challenges and strengths. <br><br>RESULTS: Members of the MDT held basically positive perceptions of the process and reported a sense of teamwork. They emphasized ways in which multiple disciplines are needed to best provide for these victims. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Results provide support for the role of MDTs in handling cases of commercial sexual exploitation.
