The North Carolina Emergency Violence Services Study (NC-EVSS)

Our UNC-CH School of Social Work (SSW) team aims to investigate how the COVID-19 crisis has impacted intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence and assault (SVA), and human trafficking (HT) services; and develop and refine guidelines for adapting IPV, SVA, and HT services in response to COVID-19 and other public health emergencies. To address these aims, we will: (1) conduct a quantitative survey of North Carolina (NC) violence agencies, (2) conduct focus groups and interviews with practice experts in NC and nationally, and (3) conduct feedback sessions with service providers and practice experts.
