Description:The Violence Against Children Surveys (VACS) are national surveys that provide population-based estimates of lifetime prevalence of physical, emotional, and sexual violence (among girls and boys)
as well as risk and protective factors for victimization and perpetration. These data provide critical information for developing national policies and programs to respond to and prevent violence against children. Due to the sensitivity of interviewing youth age 13 to 24 on violence, there are important precautions and protections that interviewers must understand and implement. Given the novelty of surveying children and adolescents about their experiences with violence, the training of interviewers for the VACS draws heavily from and builds upon existing training recommendations from research on violence against women for the unique needs of the VACS.
