In 2002, CDC developed the Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancements and Leadership Through Alliances (DELTA) Program to focus on primary prevention of intimate partner violence. DELTA funded State Domestic Violence Coalitions from 2002-2013 to engage in statewide primary prevention efforts and to provide training, technical assistance, and financial support to local communities for primary prevention. DELTA built capacity for intimate partner violence primary prevention in 14 funded state domestic violence coalitions and their local community partners.
During the latter years of DELTA, 2008-2011, another project was implemented: DELTA PREP. DELTA PREP (Preparing and Raising Expectations for Prevention) was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in collaboration with the CDC and the CDC Foundation. DELTA PREP provided an additional 19 State Domestic Violence Coalitions with training, technical assistance and support to incorporate primary prevention into their organizational, local, and state intimate partner violence efforts.
DELTA FOCUS (Domestic Violence Prevention Enhancement and Leadership Through Alliances, Focusing on Outcomes for Communities United with States) funded 10 state domestic violence coalition grantees from 2013-2018 to engage in primary prevention of intimate partner violence. DELTA FOCUS supported the intensive implementation and evaluation of intimate partner violence primary prevention strategies that address the social and structural determinants of healthexternal icon at the community and societal levels of the social-ecological model (SEM).
