The purpose of this award is to provide funding through a cooperative agreement for a collection agent to administer the third round of the National Survey of Youth in Custody.
The survey will gather self-reported sexual assault data from youth in juvenile correctional facilities. Activities include drawing a national sample of state-operated juvenile facilities and locally or privately-operated facilities that house adjudicated youth under state contract, administering the survey to sampled youth within these facilities, and conducting other data collection, analysis, and reporting activities as needed.
