The National Census of Victim Service Providers (NCVSP) is the first-ever effort to collect data from all victim service providers across the nation, providing characteristics of 12,196 victim service providers across all 50 states and Washington D.C. This webinar will provide a brief background about the goals and methodology of the NCVSP and discuss key findings and potential uses of the NCVSP data. Presenters Barbara Ouderkerk, Ph.D., and Heather Warnken, J.D., LL.M., will provide guidance in analyzing the NCVSP data, highlighting some of the data strengths and limitations.
