Washington, DC: Children's Bureau, Administration for Children and Families, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (www.calib.com/nccanch). The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (P.L. 93-247) as amended in 1996 directed the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a national data collection and analysis program relevant to child abuse and neglect. The result was the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System (NCANDS), which collects and publishes both aggregate data and case level data from each state on an annual basis.
