National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect

 

A resource since 1988, NDACAN promotes scholarly exchange among researchers in the child maltreatment field. NDACAN acquires microdata from leading researchers and national data collection efforts and makes these datasets available to the research community for secondary analysis. NDACAN supports information-sharing through its electronic mailing list and Updata newsletter and provides training opportunities to researchers through conference workshops and its annual Summer Research Institute.
