National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect (NDACAN)

The National Data Archive on Child Abuse and Neglect (NDACAN) is a secure, organized repository that collects, preserves, and shares research data related to child abuse and neglect. It allows researchers and policymakers access to comprehensive datasets to analyze trends, understand risk factors, and evaluate prevention and intervention strategies. NDACAN's goal is to foster evidence-based approaches to improve child welfare policies and practices, ultimately helping to reduce child abuse and promote safer, healthier environments for children across the United States.
