The Illinois Department of Public Health, through its Office of Health Promotion, Rape Prevention and Education Program (RPE) will continue using the public health approach with a greater emphasis on community and societal-level strategies. In addition, RPE staff will take the lead to create a new Illinois RPE Partnership to establish public/private input and support to enhance statewide RPE efforts. This is a new tactic that will model existing partnership efforts across other chronic disease programs that has proven results in program collaboration and sustainability. The project will enhance the RPE’s capacity to collaborate with stakeholders and increase the level of sexual violence (SV) prevention strategies in Illinois. The Illinois RPE program expects to achieve the following long-term (5 year) outcomes, as identified in the logic model: reduction in SV perpetration; reduction in SV victimization; reduction in SV-related forms of violence; reduction in teen dating violence; reduction in intimate partner violence; reduction in sexual harassment perpetration; increase in gender equity in housing, healthcare, incarceration, education, and employment; reduction in practices and policies that directly or indirectly support SV and SE; and increase in policies and practices to prevent SV perpetration and their risk/protective factors.
