This is a report on an implementation evaluation of the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Practitioner Evaluation Toolkit, whose purpose is to teach program staff how to evaluate whether prosecution rates for sexual assault cases in their communities have increased due to the implementation of the SANE program.
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to conduct an implementation evaluation of the SANE Practitioner Evaluation Toolkit. The authors selected six SANE programs (two rural, two mid-sized, and two urban) and provided comprehensive technical assistance to help these programs work through the steps in the Toolkit so that they could evaluate whether their programs were having a beneficial impact on prosecution rates.
