Rape Prevention and Education: Enhancing Capacity for Sexual Violence Prevention Across Wyoming - The purpose of this funding application is to enhance the capacity of the Wyoming Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (WCADVSA), key partners, and stakeholders to expand and advance primary prevention and health equity work in Wyoming. The WCADVSA will do this through the use of evidence-based, equity-focused strategies that advance primary prevention and promote health equity with and on behalf of people most impacted by sexual violence, including people of color, individuals ages 18-24, and people living with low incomes. The WCADVSA will accomplish this through intentionally building infrastructure to support SV prevention activities, collaboration with the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH), use of data and data-driven decision-making, and the implementation of evidence-based strategies at the community and societal levels. The project intends to achieve the following outcomes: increased capacity to implement and evaluate primary prevention of SV at the community and societal levels; increased capacity to promote and incorporate health equity program activities relevant to SV prevention among partner organizations; increased partner and community awareness of effective primary prevention strategies to prevent SV; increased partner and community awareness of the disparate burden of SV; increased coordination and collaboration among partners and between WDH, WCADVSA, and representatives from underserved communities and other sectors to prevent SV; increased community and societal level implementation of SV prevention strategies; increased implementation of prevention strategies among communities and populations with disproportionately high rates of SV; increased implementation of prevention strategies that seek to prevent SV by addressing social and structural determinants of health; increased access to data that describes inequities within populations and communities with disproportionately high rates of SV; and increased monitoring and evaluation activities and sharing of data related to SV prevention.
