Video Summary

The webinar, presented by Dr. Bethany Backus and Dr. Julia Lomi from the University of Central Florida Violence Against Women's Cluster, focuses on the importance of using data to inform decision-making and improve services for survivors of violence against women. They explain the difference between quantitative and qualitative data and provide examples of various types of data that agencies can collect and analyze. The process of analyzing qualitative data is also discussed, emphasizing the steps involved in organizing, reviewing, and refining the data. The presenters highlight the value of consistency and the combination of quantitative and qualitative data to gain a comprehensive understanding of the issues. They also encourage agencies to consider collecting community data to better understand the needs of their communities and advocate for additional resources. The ultimate goal is for agencies to recognize the value of data and how it can be used to improve services, evaluate programs, and advocate for change. Ethical considerations and collaboration with researchers are stressed, along with the importance of sharing data with stakeholders. Resources for accessing census data, developing logic models, and working with researchers are also provided.<br /><br />Credits: Dr. Bethany Backus and Dr. Julia Lomi from the University of Central Florida Violence Against Women's Cluster.
