Prevention works: Understanding the prevalence of child abuse and neglect in Oregon

CPAN is currently working on the rollout of a statewide Oregon Child Abuse Prevalence Study (OCAPS) to better understand the true prevalence of abuse and neglect among youth in the state of Oregon. 

OCAPS is the first survey of its kind, asking direct questions to the children who are being affected by various experiences of trauma and abuse.

We must trust that youth are the experts on their own experiences.
