NCTTP Data Project FY 2008 Data

In FY 2008, over 5,075 torture survivors from 103 countries were treated in centers holding membership in the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs located across the U.S.

Countries of Origin

Survivors and their family members came from:

19 countries in the Middle East & Eastern Europe
23 countries in Asia
20 countries in Central & South America
41 African countries

In keeping with the guiding principles of this project:

The data collected as a part of the NCTTP Data Collection belongs to the NCTTP Centers participating in this data collection process.
The data collection process will be a “Cooperative Process”.
Inclusivity of all centers in these research projects is highly valued and will be encouraged and supported for centers which are interested in being involved.
Institutional Review Board oversight of the collection of these data is provided by the IRB of the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU). Data is transferred securely from NCTTP centers to a secure data depository at OHSU.
Individual PHI and identity of specific centers will be protected in any data disclosed.
It is important that scientific descriptions pertaining to the demographics, outputs and outcomes of the treatment of torture victims in the United States be available to the public.

This data belongs to the participating centers of the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs' (NCTTP) Research and Data Project. (N=5417)
