CDC's Injury Center will sponsor "Sexual Violence Prevention: Building
Leadership and Commitment to Underserved Communities," to provide educational
information to grantees and those who have an interest in preventing sexual violence.
Overall, this broadcast will address issues related to rape prevention and education.
Specifically, the broadcast will:
Provide examples of programs demonstrating key components of
a public health approach within specific population-based strategies.
Introduce a paradigm shift from individual to population-based strategies and inform
the audience of disparities within certain racial/ethnic and minority groups.
Provide information to everyone with a vested interest in preventing sexual
violence and serve as a national forum to raise awareness of efforts to
target populations who have limited access to rape prevention programs
such as American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian/Pacific Islander,
Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and disabled women.
