New SANE Program Development and Operation Guide

For more than two decades, nurses have used the SANE Program Development and Operation Guide (SANE Guide) as a blueprint to start Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs. Since its first publication in 1999, there have been many new resources developed to assist individuals and teams that want to provide SANE services in their communities. To help nurses and other community leaders to develop, strengthen, and sustain SANE programs, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), in collaboration with other federal partners, the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN), and a diverse group of subject matter experts in the field, revised and enhanced the SANE Guide. The new SANE Guide includes advances in forensic nursing practice, forensic science, and criminal justice, and it is transformed into a web-based, interactive, user-friendly tool.
