Oregon RPE Project Abstract Summary
The purpose of Oregon’s RPE program is to reduce risk factors and increase protective factors associated with sexual violence (SV) perpetration and victimization, with the long-term goal of reducing SV victimization rates in Oregon.
Oregon Public Health Division (OPHD) will implement strategies that address shared violence risk and protective factors that can create more impactful change at the individual, and community levels. The public health approach will be used as a framework for program planning. The tracking of SV indicators will improve implementation of prevention strategies and evaluation efforts.
OPHD is proposing to complete the following activities in the first year (February 2024 to January 2025): establish new partnerships and develop a RPE State Action Plan (SAP), a state evaluation plan, identify SV indicators and begin tracking, as well as implement 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. This application describes specific partners, strategies and sub-recipients, and goals and objectives and activities, as well as our Populations of Focus (PoF), and strategies within the three Focus Areas required by CDC.
