In 2019, the National Institute of Justice funded the University of Louisville and the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training to form a multidisciplinary team that implemented and evaluated a 40-hour training course on victim centered, trauma informed interview techniques for sexual assault investigators. This study used a randomized experimental design to assign 8 training courses to treatment (4 courses) and control (4 courses) groups between November of 2019 and August of 2021 to assess the effects of training on behavioral, attitudinal, and cognitive outcomes.
