Which data element is included in PREA reporting?

• A. Incident counts by type and training completion rates.
• B. Employee payroll data.
• C. Yearly budget allocations.
• D. Visitor demographics.

Answer: (B)

PREA reporting is focused on measuring incidents of sexual abuse and harassment and on the training completed to prevent such incidents. The data elements that best fit this purpose include incident counts by type and training completion rates. These metrics let agencies track how often incidents occur, understand their nature, and assess how effectively staff and residents are being trained to prevent abuse. They provide actionable insight into safety interventions and compliance with PREA standards.

Payroll data, yearly budget allocations, and visitor demographics aren’t used for PREA reporting. Payroll and budgets relate to financial and HR administration, not the occurrence or prevention of sexual abuse. Visitor demographics don’t reflect PREA-required incident and training metrics, so they aren’t part of the PREA reporting data set.
