Oregon Rape Prevention Education - Project Abstract Summary The purpose of Oregon’s RPE program is to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors associated with sexual violence perpetration and victimization, with the long-term goal of reducing SV victimization rates in Oregon. OPHD will implement strategies that address shared risk and protective factors with other forms of violence that can create more impactful change at the individual, and community levels. The public health approach will be used, SV indicators will improve implementation of community-level prevention strategies and improve evaluation efforts. OPHD is proposing to implement activities including establishing partnerships, developing a state action plan, a state evaluation plan, tracking SV indicators, and implementing programs, practices, and policies identified within the Division of Violence Prevention’s (DVP) STOP SV: A Technical Package to Prevent Sexual Violence. OPHD’s RPE Program has more than a decade of experience implementing community-level sexual violence prevention activities and enthusiastically submits this application for Category B funding which includes additional funding to implement at least 75% of its RPE strategies at the community level. Within four months OPHD will develop the State-level Action Plan (SAP). The SAP will plan, prioritize, and establish a baseline inventory of prevention approaches, and evaluation and performance measurements. This application describes specific partners, strategies and sub-recipients, however, until the process of the SAP is completed, some of the proposed work and approach may change. OPHD is proposing to implement one strategy at the individual level (bystander approaches and mobilizing men and boys as allies) and six strategies at the community level: 1 promote social norms that protect, 2 strategies under Provide Opportunities to Empower Girls and Women, and 3 strategies under Create Protective Environments. Therefore 86% of strategies will be community level and 14% will be at the individual level.
