A Starting Place…. • Data is a starting place, a point of reference and discussion, it is not truth, but rather information to fuel informed dialogue… • Data is limited by what has been collected and the limits of method and data collection approach. • This data is heavily influenced by the improved data collection between 2008 and 2009, I.e. differences observed are in large part a function of improved data from year 1 to year 2. • Data suggests areas of attention for continued community and campus prevention efforts.
