RADAR Research in Progress
Research on RADAR is underway. We are examining disclosure patterns in a sample of 400+ RADAR forensic interviews conducted at a large metropolitan CAC. The sample includes both child sexual abuse and physical abuse cases.
The following is a sample of research used in the development and ongoing updates of RADAR models:
