Establishing if your community is ready to develop or expand a SART is key to sustainability. The following resources can assist communities with their assessment efforts.

Assessment Tools

NSVRC SART Readiness Assessment Tool [1]

Data Collection

To help SARTs track variables of interest, see the Centers for Disease Control’s resource:

Sexual Violence Surveillance: Uniform Definitions and Recommended Data Elements [2]

Another helpful resource for sexual assault data collection is available at the Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Stalking Data Resource Center [3].

This online resource center provides a national summary [4] on the types of systems and kinds of information states collect.
