Data-driven decision making is key to protecting and promoting best practices in licensure in the U.S. and Canada. In 2021, the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards (ASPPB) launched the Centre for Data and Analysis on Psychology Licensure to assist our member psychology boards and the larger profession in making research-based decisions.
The Centre serves the needs of our professional and regulatory communities by:
- Collecting and analyzing data for the regulation of the profession of psychology
- Delivering timely and relevant data to psychology licensing boards
- Creating publications and presentations focused on licensure portability and telehealth
Key topic areas on the Centre website include:
- Licensure Requirements—We collect and make available through PSY|Book data from our member licensing boards about their specific licensure requirements.
- Historical Disciplinary Data—Our annual ASPPB Disciplinary Data System (DDS) Historical Discipline Report comprises the disciplinary actions initiated by our 66 psychology licensing boards in the U.S. and Canada.
- Guidelines and Publications—We periodically create guidelines and other publications related to the practice, teaching, and regulation of psychology.
